HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Dated 9-7-2010 WRIT PETITION No.13395 of 2002 Between: K.V.Neelavathi. …Petitioner. And: Government of Andhra Pradesh and others. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.13395 of 2002 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for both the parties. 2. This writ petition is filed assailing the orders dated 18-7-2002 in R.C.No.G3/33313/2002 passed by the Deputy Commissioner (S) whereunder the 3rd respondent has been appointed as Executive Officer of Santhoshimatha Temple situated at Safilguda, Neredmettu (Vinayaknagar) Malkajgiri. 3. Petitioner claims that her husband purchased an extent of Ac.431.16 square yards of land in plot Nos.33 and 39 situated at Neredmet, Santhoshi Maa Nagar, R.R. District for the purpose of constructing Goddess Santhoshi Maa Temple. On such purchase, the petitioner and her family members constructed the Temple on such land and also installed idols of Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnumurthy and Lord Suryanarayana and Navagrahas. Poojas are being performed regularly. In due course of time, large number of devotees are coming to the Temple and the Temple has become an important religious place in the locality. 4. It is alleged that the 3rd respondent has been appointed as an Executive Officer to the Temple illegally and without following the provisions of the A.P. Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987. The petitioner states that the Temple has not been notified as required under Section 6 of the said Act and on this ground the appointment of R.3 should be set aside. 5. As the appointment of the 3rd respondent is challenged on the sole ground that the institution has not been notified under the provisions of Section 6 of the Act, this Court by order dated 2-7-2010 directed the learned Government Pleader to produce the concerned record. The learned Government Pleader has produced Andhra Pradesh Gazette No.33 dated 15-8-2002. At page No.653 of the said Gazette vide publication No.640, Sri Santhoshimatha Temple, Saphilguda Road, Neredmete, (Vinayaknagar), Malkajgiri (M), Ranga Reddy District has been notified and published under Section 6 (c) (i) & (ii) of the Act. Therefore the factual foundation on which this writ petition has been filed does not exist. The writ petition is misconceived. 6. There are no merits in the writ petition and is accordingly dismissed. The interim order dated 23-7-2002 stands annulled. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Dated 9-7-2010 Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.13395 of 2002 Dated 9-7-2010
