According to him, he had been conducting such information centre for the past several years at Pampa after obtaining sanction. However, admittedly, this time no such permission is granted and he has not yet started any information centre, though according to him, he has already constructed a temporary stall. 2. On instruction, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Devaswom Board submitted that besides the Jana Keralam Daily or supplement, petitioner was also found to sell other magazines, photos and other articles which cannot be permitted. Hence Ext.P4 application was not considered. However, it is submitted by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner that petitioner will not sell any such articles other than the Janakeralam Daily, its supplement and their own religious publications . This submission is recorded. WP(C) 37238/2008 :2: 3.

In case it is found that there is any violation of the undertaking as given above, the Devaswom Board is free to take appropriate action. The amount of Rs. 20,000/- shall be given by the petitioner to the Board along with the copy of the application whereupon Ext.P4 shall be disposed of as aforesaid. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the Board authorities for enabling them to comply with the order. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) T.R.
