Challenge in these writ petitions is against Exts.P11 & P4 orders respectively, by which, the petitioner has been removed from the managership of the Temples mentioned therein. 2. Although, several contentions have been raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner impugning the validity of the aforesaid orders, learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Board points out that the impugned orders are revisable under Section 18 of the Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1951. Having regard to the fact that statutory remedy is available against the impugned orders, we do not think it necessary to entertain these writ petitions. However, in order to enable the petitioner to move the revisional authority and to seek appropriate orders, we feel it only appropriate that the impugned orders should WP(C) Nos.14402/2010 & 14454/2010 -2- be kept in abeyance for a short period. Therefore, it is directed that Ext.P11 order in WP(C) No.14402/2010 & Ext.P4 order in WP(C) No.14454/2010 will be kept in abeyance for a period of one month from today. These writ petitions are disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) (C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE) jg
