Having perused the materials on record and the report of the learned Ombudsman, we are of the view that the possible returns should not be a consideration for the work in question. The heritage value and matters affecting faith, obviously, require the CDB to necessitate the works. Accordingly, we grant sanction in terms of the report of the learned Ombudsman. The work shall be carried out only as stated by the learned Ombudsman. The expenditure will be subjected to audit by the Local Fund Audit. The DBP is ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.
