No. 2 of 1993 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of July, 2010 O R D E R Ramachandran Nair, J. Heard standing counsel for the Devaswom Board and amicus curiae for Ombudsman. After going through the report of the Ombudsman, we feel audit report can be approved. Even though Ombudsman has suggested enquiry pertaining to loss of some items, standing counsel for the Devaswom Board submitted that those items have been traced out. In any case, we do not find any scope for ordering an enquiry against employees who have caused loss to the Devaswom because the matter is 18-19 years old. Accordingly we approve the audit report for 1991-92. Consequently DBAR is closed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (P.S. GOPINATHAN) Judge. kk 2
