THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.R.RAMAN & P.S.GOPINATHAN, JJ. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.4478 OF 2009 ------------------------------- Dated this the 16th February, 2009 J U D G M E N T Raman, J. The petitioner is stated to be a devotee of Lord Ettumanoorappan, and his prayer is against the shifting of venue for conducting the auction of Vazhipadu items from Ettumannoor to Vaikom temple premises. So long as the petitioner is not an auctioneer and since the only challenge is against the shifting of venue from Ettumannoor to Vaikom, no legal right much less any constitutional right can be claimed by the petitioner in this behalf. As tender conditions are clear in all respects and auctioning is done after calling for tenders, by issuing notification in this regard in important dailies, this Court cannot substitute the tender conditions at this stage. No other relief also is prayed for in this W.P.(C) No.4478 of 2009 2 writ petition. In such circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE. nj.
