This is a petition alleging that violation of the Kerala Gaming Act, 1960 is being done, when the festival of a temple is being celebrated. It is also submitted that, for the last 5 years, such offences under the Gaming Act are being committed. If that be so, the petitioner should have approached this court much earlier. Here, the festival will be over on 1.2.2009. There is no time for issuing notice. Therefore, no orders can be passed now in this writ petition. The writ petition is dismissed, without prejudice to the other rights of the petitioner. Sd/- (J.B. KOSHY) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
