This is an application seeking sanction and approval of finalisation of the tenders invited by the Kulathur Devaswom under the Changanacherry Group of Travancore Devaswom Board, in respect of leasing of Room No.1 of Shopping Complex attached to the Kulathur Devaswom. 2. Auction was conducted only by publishing notice in the notice-board. Recently, we have passed an order accepting the report of the Ombudsman to conduct public auction, after due publication. However, it is submitted that the auction in this case was conducted prior to the acceptance of the report by this Court. It is an old matter and fresh suggestion made by the Ombudsman and acceptance by this court is being adhered to. -2- D.B.A.No.76/2008 In the circumstances, the approval as sought for is granted, especially taking into consideration of the fact that there is an increase in the lease amount and no objection is filed by the Audit also.
