RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, & P.S. GOPINATHAN, JJ. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. No. 17225 of 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of July, 2010 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. Two petitioners are ladies who claim to be family members and relatives of those petitioners, who obtained Ext.P2 judgment in WPC No. 27821 of 2006 from this Court. This Court approved the entitlement of the petitioners in WPC 27821 of 2006 to conduct Manjal podi Aadal festival in the temple and sale of turmeric powder. Since petitioners were not made parties in the other WPC as respondents we did not decide the entitlement of the petitioners because it requires verification as to whether petitioners are family members of the very same family which was engaged in rituals. We direct the Devaswom Officer to verify the entitlement of the petitioners and if they are family members of the family engaged in the rituals, petitioners should also be permitted in the same way as the petitioners in Ext.P2 judgment. WPC is disposed of as above. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (P.S. GOPINATHAN) kk Judge. 2
