BALI, C.J. & M.RAMACHANDRAN, J. ------------------------------- D.B.A.No.9 of 2007 ------------------------------- Dated, this the 17th day of January, 2006 ORDER Ramachandran, J.(Oral) The prayer in this application is to grant sanction to the Travancore Devaswom Board for construction of the 1st and 2nd floors. The building that was proposed to be constructed by the Vaikom Devaswom is known as 'Kairaleemadam'. Since administrative sanction is seen to have been granted on due enquiries and in compliance with the formalities, we do not find anything objectionable in sanction being given for such construction, but this should not be mistaken as ratification for all expenditure that is incurred and audit team should appropriately ensure that funds of the Devaswom have been expended as authorised. This application is disposed of accordingly. V.K. BALI, CHIEF JUSTICE. M.RAMACHANDRAN, JUDGE. vns W.A.Nos.168 & 173/2005 2
