D.B.A. No.82 of 2010 .................................................................... Dated this the 29th day of July, 2010. ORDER Ramachandran Nair, J. Approval sought from this court is for stainless steel fabrication work to protect the Anakkottil in front of the Sreekanteswaram Temple at Trivandrum. Strangely, this temple does not have a temple advisory committee. We are of the view that temple advisory committee should be constituted for this temple as well. In this regard there will be direction to the Deputy Commissioner concerned to issue publication in notice Board, give due publicity in the local area and constitute a temple advisory committee in accordance with the norms. So far as the fabrication work is concerned, we suggest the Devaswom Commissioner to try whether any local dealer of stainless steel products is interested to do the work as an offering and if so, to get it done. However, if he fails, the Commissioner will inspect the site, take technical advice about materials required, labour involvement and the amount will be sanctioned by him only if the estimate is reasonable. It 2 would be also open to the Commissioner to consider whether the work is required to be done and unless it is justified, he need not approve the same. D.B.A. is disposed of as above.
