Raman, J: The Writ Petition is filed seeking for the following reliefs: (i) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or order directing the respondents to conduct re-lotting for the formation of “Kakkanad Pattupurakkal Bhagavathy Temple Upadesaka Samithy” including the name of the petitioner. (ii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ or direction to the second and third respondents to bring the minutes book in connection with the formation of the “ Upadesaka Samithy “ on 14.11.2009 before Court immediately. (iii) Grand such other relief as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper” 2. Pursuant to service of copy of the Writ Petition on the Standing Counsel, he took instructions and produced the minutes book, however, which does not show the name of the W.P.(C) No. 34202 OF 2009 2 petitioner. According to the petitioner, names of all the nominees were put in lot and he was selected. It is a question of fact. Based on the minutes produced, it is not possible to accept the contention of the petitioner . The further prayer that the petitioner has got a legal right to be nominated in the Temple Advisory committee itself is not free from doubt . At any rate, we are not inclined to interfere with a Writ Petition of this nature. However, this will not stand in the way of the petitioner in making a representation before the Commissioner. In that event, the Commissioner will consider the same and pass appropriate orders. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
