RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, & P.S. GOPINATHAN, JJ. -------------------------------------------- R. P. No. 570 of 2010 in W.P.C. No. 37390 of 2009 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of August, 2010 O R D E R Ramachandran Nair, J. This is a Review Petition filed against interim order passed in two connected Writ Petitions pertaining to management of Ambattukavu Bhagavathy Temple. When the WPCs. came up before us on 15.6.2010 we heard the parties and went through the audited report and on noticing that accounts were not full and complete, and previously the Devaswom Board had issued orders for taking over of the temple, we passed an interim order directing the Temple Advisory Committee to handover the management of the temple to the Special Officer of the Devaswom Board to run the temple as an interim measure. The management is already handed over and the temple is presently managed by Travancore Devaswom Board. Temple Advisory Committee is also constituted to oversee the running of the temple. 2. This Review Petition is filed by the previous managing RP 570/2010 2 committee stating that there is no irregularity in accounts, and there is no justification for this Court to hand over management of the temple to the Travancore Devaswom Board. According to the review petitioner, one of the owners of the temple is supporting them, though finding in the interim order under review is contrary to the same. We do not think there is any need to consider the contention raised in the Review Petition because all these matters have to be considered during hearing of the connected WPCs. Therefore we close this Review Petition leaving freedom to the review petitioner to raise all contentions during hearing of the WPCs. There will be direction to the Registry to post the connected WPCs for hearing on the first day of the Devaswom Bench after Onam Holidays. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (P.S. GOPINATHAN) Judge. kk RP 570/2010 3
