It is further prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to direct the respondents not to change the physical features or make any construction or remove any of the pillars, stones and construction material removed at the time of demolition of Veyyikalla Mandapa on the Tirumala Hills and preserve the same during the pendency of the writ petition, otherwise the purpose of the writ will be fait-accompli.” Since, no one has appeared for the petitioner, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed in default. However, keeping in view the fact that today, similar writ petition bearing No.5096 of 2004 has been disposed of as infructuous in view of resolution dated 24.10.2005 passed by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Board, this petition is also disposed of as infructuous in similar terms.
