Radhakrishnan, J. This is necessitated since there was a direction requiring the Board to apply for sanction before making any appointment. The Board has, now, come out with a list of persons selected for appointment as part-time Santhikkars. 2. We have seen the notification inviting applications and the relevant rules. We have seen the constitution of the selection committee and the select list. No complaint has come from any corner against Annexure-E list. Hence, we grant approval and permission to T.D.B to appoint persons included in Annexure-E list in the order of merit for the post of Santhikkar lying vacant in various temples under the Board, however, without prejudice to the rights of any person aggrieved, to challenge that selection and list. Ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN (Judge) C.T. RAVIKUMAR (Judge) spc/28.10 W.P.(C) NO. 2 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. JUDGMENT September, 2010 W.P.(C) NO. 3
