In the circumstances the answering respondent had issued the proceedings appointing Trust Board leaving one vacancy for accommodation of a member of the founder’s family. After perusing the counter-affidavit the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that either the petitioner or some other recognized member of the founders’ family will now make an application for being considered for appointment as the Chairman of the Trust Board and on such application being made the 1st respondent be directed to consider the same and pass expeditious orders appointing the applicant as Chairman of the Trust Board of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Kodavtancha Village, Regonda Mandal, Warangal District.
