This SSCR is on the basis of a report of the Special Commissioner, Sabarimala. He points out that the decision by the TDB authorities to revise the vazhipad rates is made in violation of earlier directions of this Court. He is well founded in saying so. The Board has also understood that it had essentially gone against the earlier directions. We, however, are of the view that no further proceedings in this matter is required since it is submitted that for the time being, the Board has deferred that decision. We record this submission and close this matter with direction that the Board shall not revise the vazhipad rates without getting prior approval of this Court in terms of the earlier directions of the Bench.
