This is an application seeking permission by the Travancore Devaswom Board to incur the expenses for the repair and maintenance of the Aravana preparing and packing machineries at Sabarimala at the rates specified by RACON, Mumbai and Zelli- Bellini, Italy. They are stated to be the manufacturers of the machineries supplied earlier. The Local Fund Audit in their remarks at paragraph (10) has stated that in view of the fast approaching Sabarimala festival, it is urgent to overhaul and repair the machineries, and approval may be given to incur the expenditure. In the circumstances, approval sought for is granted. Since this sanction sought for is not related to the purchase of the new machineries, the objection raised in the audit report with regard thereto is not relevant in the context. However, as and when there is proposal to purchase new machineries, it is open to the Local Fund Audit to raise such objection. P.R.RAMAN, Judge T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge ms
