W.P.(C) No. 26308 OF 2009 ......................................................................... Dated this the 5th November, 2009 J U D G M E N T P.R. Raman, J: This Writ Petition is filed by the petitioners as devotees of Pandavarkavu Devi Temple, Muthukulam, raising allegations against the 5th respondent. It is alleged that there is inaction on the part of the respondent Nos. 1 to 4 in not taking any action against the 5th respondent. The main relief sought for is to direct respondents 1 to 4 not to permit respondent No.5 or any person or association or organization to conduct the rituals set out in Exhibit P2 notice in Muthukulam Pandavarkavu Devi Temple. That relief has become infructuous. 2. However, in the course of hearing, it was submitted that there is no Temple Advisory Committee for the last several months. The period of the previous Committee has expired and W.P.(C) No. 26308 OF 2009 2 it has not been re-constituted, it is submitted. When the matter came up for consideration, it is reported that the Temple Advisory Committee has been re-constituted. The Writ Petition has thus become infructuous. We are not expressing any opinion on the merits of the contentions raised against the 5th respondent. In that view of the matter it is not necessary to receive any documents as right of the parties and contentions are left open. The Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
