The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to implement the proceedings of the Commissioner of Endowments, dated 15-07-2004 whreunder the Executive Officer of Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Devasthanam, Vijayawada (1st respondent) was permitted to procure ghee from the petitioner Federation observing that the offer of the petitioner Federation is beneficial to the Devasthanam. However, it is clear from the material papers filed by the petitioner along with this writ petition that the Board of Trustees of the 1st respondent Temple subsequently passed a resolution on 7-8-2004 to procure the ghee from Vijaya Diary instead of the petitioner Federation and detailed reasons have also been assigned in support of their decision. If that be so, it is for the 1st respondent temple to take an appropriate decision and to process the same in accordance with law. By virtue of the proceedings of the 2nd respondent dated 15-07-2004, no legal right is accrued in favour of the petitioner so as to seek enforcement of the same by invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is misconceived and accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________ 31st August, 2004. Sj/gbs To 1.
