The petitioner, who claims to be the Archaka of the temple, contended that the land is not notified as contemplated under Section 6 of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 (for short, ‘the Act’) and therefore, the impugned action of the respondents 1 and 2 is arbitrary, illegal and without jurisdiction. This court, while issuing rule nisi, by order dated 18.02.2003 in W.P.M.P.3800 of 2003 granted interim order directing the respondents not to interfere with the possession and management of the temple and the lands unless it is notified under Section 6 of the Act. A counter affidavit has been filed by the Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Kadapa stating that after filing this writ petition the temple in question has been published under Section 6 (c) (ii) of the Act under Sl.No.1471 vide proceedings of the Commissioner of Endowments in Rc.No.J3/9773/2003, dated 06.03.2003. A copy of the said proceedings has also been placed before this Court. In view of the subsequent order dated 06.03.2003, nothing survives for adjudication on merits. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous, leaving it open to the petitioner to challenge the proceedings dated 06.03.2003 by working out the appropriate remedy as available under law, if so advised. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 30.09.2010 Ivd
