Order Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. We have heard the learned counsel for the Travancore Devaswom Board. We have also perused the report dated 5.4.2010 made by the learned Ombudsman. Though there was an earlier suggestion in the order dated 8.4.2010 that the Temple Advisory Committee could find out ways and means to provide 50% of the expenditure for the construction of the Anakkottil, the report of the learned Ombudsman appears to be acceptable to the Temple Advisory Committee as it is stated that the Temple Advisory Committee had also to meet the other expenditure in relation to the temple since the total expenditure incurred in the temple exceeds its total income. Under such DBA7/10 -: 2 :- circumstances, the Travancore Devaswom Board, in our view, is justified in suggesting that they would abide by the recommendations made by the learned Ombudsman in the report dated 5.4.2010 (Report No.60 of 2010). We, accordingly direct that the TDB will get the work done without delay in terms of Report No.60/2010 of the learned Ombudsman. The proportionate construction to be made by the Temple Advisory Committee towards the extra amount in terms of the tender would be borne in by the Temple Advisory Committee. The D.B.A.is ordered accordingly. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. P.Bhavadasan, Judge. Sha/0309
