Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the Malabar Devaswom Board. 2. Exhibit P4 shows that a material addressed by the petitioner has been received by the Assistant Commissioner on 13.5.2010. If that is Exhibit P3, idefinitely there is inordinate delay in considering it, since it relates to appointment of a hereditary trust in lieu of one, who is no more. Either way a decision on Exhibit P3 has to be rendered. It is submitted that the festival season is fast arriving and it starts from 13th of this month. We, therefore, order that a decision on Exhibit P3 shall be passed by the competent authority without fail on or before 10.2.2011. The Writ Petition is allowed as above. Issue a copy of this judgment today itself. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE Sd/- P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE vgs. /true copy/ PS TO UDGE
