Radhakrishnan, J, The anxiety of the writ petitioner is that the Gurupeedom in the temple in question is likely to be demolished as part of the renovation of the temple. 2. Standing Counsel for the Malabar Devaswom Board has filed a statement to the effect that renovation works are over and the Gurupeedom is still existing in the temple and there is no ground for the issuance of any writ or other direction. The petitioner is also accused of trying to be instrumental to create division among the devotees. We need not go into those aspects of the matter. Since the Gurupeedom is not going to be demolished, we do not deem it necessary to pass any orders in this writ petition. WPC.14533/10. 2 This writ petition is closed recording the statement of the Standing Counsel for the Malabar Devaswom Board. All other issues are left open. Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, Judge P. Bhavadasan, Judge sb.
