Having regard to the user of the viri sheds, the learned Ombudsman has rightly pointed out that it is inconvenient to the pilgrims. We have examined the report of the learned Ombudsman, TDB-R-163 of 2010. We are satisfied that the learned Ombudsman's stand is strictly in conformity with the need of the pilgrims. We accordingly record the said report and order that no permission need be granted for conversion of viri sheds into dormitories. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. S.S.Satheesachandran, Judge.
