For Petitioner : Mr.R.Senthilkumar For Respondents1to3 : Mr.T.R.Janarthanam Additional Government Pleader O R D E R Though this Writ Petition is filed for the issue of a Writ of Mandamus directing the first respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 26.04.2011 and consequently direct respondents 2 and 3 to provide adequate police protection for the festival, which will be held on 03.06.2011, I am not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition, for the reason that even as per the representation dated 26.04.2011, the petitioner had got a decree in his favour in O.S.No.68 of 2003, on the file of the District Munsif Court, Sivagangai, with regard to his status as poojari of the concerned temple and as per the same representation, certain other individuals have got an order in their favour in O.S.No.180 of 2004, on the file of the District Munsif Court, Sivagangai. Under such https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 circumstances, the petitioner has filed this Writ Petition seeking a direction to the first respondent to permit him to function as poojari of the concerned temple. 2. In my considered opinion, when there is an order passed by the Civil Court, the authority concerned cannot be directed to examine the same issue overlooking the orders passed by the Civil Court. 3. In view of the above, I do not find any merit in the Writ Petition, and therefore, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is also dismissed.
