No.23470 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, we are clear in our mind that the learned counsel is justified in saying that the issues raised in this writ petition is not directly covered by the judgment dated 1.9.2011 in W.P.(C).No.23149 of 2009 and connections stated to be reported as 2011(4) KLT 230 (Bhanunni v. Commissioner, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (Admn.) Department). The learned counsel says that the rights projected in the writ petition is based on section 47(2) of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act and that those matters were not germane for consideration in Bhanunni's case (supra). But, as of present, having regard to the effect of verdict in Bhanunni's case (supra), the issues raised in this writ petition remain academic and would be germane for consideration only when such issues would be necessary to be decided to render relief as may be claimed. W.P.(C) 23470/11 2 Recording the aforesaid, this writ petition is closed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN (Judge) C.T. RAVIKUMAR (Judge) spc/17.11. W.P.(C) 23470/11 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J.
