THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.2271 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners filed this writ petition aggrieved by the inaction of respondents 1 to 3 in acting upon their representation dated 27.01.2010 to remove respondents 4 to 12 as trustees of Maddileti Narasimha Swamy Temple, R.S.Rangapuram Village, Bethamcherla Mandal, Kurnool District. It is stated that the first respondent issued proceedings dated 27.01.2010 appointing respondents 4 to 12 as trustees of the said temple for a period of two years. It is also stated that some of the trustees have no good conduct and reputation, and are involved in criminal cases, viz., Sri P.Nageswar Reddy (R.4) was convicted in a electricity theft case vide No.13288 of 1998; Sri K.Chinna Venkata Swamy (R.6) was involved in “Talanilalu” scam of the said temple and also occupied an extent of Acs.12.75 cents of temple land; Sri U.Chandrasekhar (R.7) was involved in a murder case vide Crime No.88 of 2006 on the file of Nandavaram Police Station, Dhone Taluq and the husband of Smt.Mariyamma(R.8) was a rowdy sheeter in Betamcherla Town. The grievance of the petitioners is that the appointment of the said trusses was made purely on political basis. Therefore, they made a representation dated 27.01.2010 and also gave telegrams dated 29.01.2010 to respondents 1 to 3 to verify the antecedents of respondents 4 to 12 and to remove them as trustees. But, however, respondents 1 to 3 have not taken any action so far. Even though notice was served on the respondents, they have not chosen to file counter-affidavit. Since it is the case of the petitioners that they have made representation to respondents 1 to 3 on 27.01.2010 seeking removal of respondents 4 to 12 alleging certain disqualifications against some of them, and as the respondents have not filed any counter-affidavit in the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioners, after giving opportunity to respondents 4 to 12, and pass appropriate orders. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 17.06.2010 va
