THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 664 OF 2011 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been instituted, complaining that the respondent – Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has not dealt with the representation submitted by the writ petitioner on 11.08.2010 for extending appropriate package of benefits for the Mirasidars Gamekars in POTU of Srivari temple at Tirumala. The writ petitioner claims to be the adopted son of Smt. T.S. Kamalamal, W/o Sri T.S. Tiruvenkatachari. It is asserted by the writ petitioner that through a registered adoption deed, dated 21.08.1977, he was taken in adoption. However, the respondent Devasthanams has not committed itself firmly that the writ petitioner was a hereditary Gamekar Mirasidar, but, be that as it may, a representation is said to have submitted to the respondent Devasthanams, on 11.08.2010 seeking extension of certain benefits, which were considered as extendible to the Mirasidar Archakas, after the abolition of the Mirasidari system. It is certainly open to the respondent Devasthanam to consider extending appropriate benefits and it is for the Devasthanam to decide as to the same should be extended in favour of the petitioner and other similarly placed persons or not, but however, in paragraph 10 of the counter-affidavit filed by the Executive Officer of the respondent Devasthanams, it is pointed that the management of the Devasthanams is in the process of examining the requests of the writ petitioner on its own merits and before a decision is taken one way or the other, after a detailed study of the matter, the writ petitioner has rushed and instituted the above Writ Petition. In view of these pleadings, I do not consider it necessary for me to examine as to whether the representation and request of the writ petitioner is sustainable or not. It is for the management of the TTDs, to take an appropriate decision in the matter, taking all relevant facts and circumstances into account and consideration, including the factum of adoption of the writ petitioner. Therefore, I consider it appropriate to dispose of this Writ Petition right at the admission stage, by directing the respondents to take an appropriate decision in the matter and communicate the same to the writ petitioner, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 8th February 2011 Issue CC in a week. ksld
