For Appellant .. Mr.Ananth C.Rajesh For Respondents .. Mr.R.Karthikeyan Addl.Govt.Pleader https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 J U D G M E N T (Judgment of the Court was delivered by P.JYOTHIMANI, J.) The writ appeal is directed against the order of the learned Single Judge dated 12.07.2011 passed in W.P.(MD) No.7681 of 2011, dismissing the writ petition. 2.The petitioner Sangam has filed the writ petition for a mandamus directing against the respondents not to interfere in the internal administration of the Sangam, namely, Madurai Siddha Vaithya Sangam having office at Door No.6, Travellers Bungalow Road, Madurai – 16, except by due process of law. 3. As correctly found by the learned Single Judge, the issue involved is one related to the appreciation of evidence as to, who is having the right to administer the Sangam. If really the fourth respondent, who is stated to be a police officer, interfering with the function of the petitioner Sangam, who is also a rival claimant, it is always open for the Sangam to approach the appropriate forum, which has to decide by appreciation of evidence as to the rights of the parties. In such view of the matter, we see no reason to interfere with the order of the learned Single Judge and the writ appeal fails and the same is dismissed, however, with liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate forum for redressal of his grievance if any. No costs. Consequently connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. sd/- Assistant Registrar (A.S) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar (C.S) To: 1.
