Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. 1.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the TDB. 2.The petitioners say that they are devotees of Ambattukavu Bhagavathy. The temple dedicated to that deity is in Thaikattukara in Aluva in Ernakulam district. It is a temple taken over by the TDB. It appears that matters relating to that are pending before the District Collector. The present request is only regarding the constitution of a temple advisory committee for the purpose of conducting the festival which is stated to be on 6.4.2011(Meenabharani). The WPC.7221/11 -: 2 :- temple having been taken over by the Board and an administrative officer having been appointed by it; it is for the Board to ensure that the festivals are appropriately conducted either by appointing an ad hoc committee for the purpose of festival or any such other mode as may be found just and convenient to secure ends of justice in the views of the Board authorities. We, therefore, direct that respondents 1 and 2 will ensure that appropriate action is taken to have the festival conducted appropriately. The writ petition ordered accordingly.
