P2 and P3 orders to all the employees of the temples in the Malabar Devaswom coming under the H.R & C.E Act. We find that Commissioner has already taken up the matter with the Government vide Ext. P4 communication dated 13.03.2007 and the Government is seized of the matter. In such circumstances, we are inclined to dispose of this writ petition directing the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on Ext.

It will be open to the Government to take into account all the aspects of the matter concerning the interests of hereditary trustees and the employees of the temple.
