Radhakrishnan, J. Petitioner claims to be a devotee of Sree Manapillikavu Bhagavathy Temple. The fourth respondent was First Grade Executive Officer of that temple. There was some allegation against him. He was kept under suspension. Now, disciplinary proceedings are over and he has been reverted as Upper Division Clerk, with liability to repay certain amounts. This is under challenge in this writ petition. 2. We find that the petitioner, as a devotee, does not have locus standi to sustain a writ petition, challenging such a decision. We leave open the W.P.(C) No.11174/2011 : 2 : question as to whether he has an option to challenge the matter in a revision before the Government in terms of the statute. Without expressing anything on the merits, writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE) Sd/- (S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, JUDGE) aks/07.04 // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
