Following earlier orders, the Board has filed certain facts and statements. The estimate has also been placed. We have seen the earlier orders, directing the Temple Advisory Committee to say the actual contribution that it would make. Such statement is not yet filed. We order this writ petition directing the parties to mark their appearance before the learned Ombudsman on 12.12.2011 to facilitate consideration of the entire matter by the learned Ombudsman for making a report. We, however, direct that the office will forward to the learned Ombudsman the materials, including counter affidavits etc. in this case. The Executive Officer of the temple will provide a copy of this order, under due acknowledgment, to the Temple WPC.10638/10 2 Advisory Committee, requiring it to mark appearance before the learned Ombudsman in terms of this order. The revised estimate which the Board prepares can also be brought to the notice of the learned Ombudsman. We clarify that all issues are left open so that the TAC can also bring up before the learned Ombudsman the contribution and efforts it would take to have the works carried out. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN Judge Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge kkb.17/11
