JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 12929 OF 2004 ORAL RODER: The only grievance of the petitioner is that the application filed by him before the 1st respondent-The Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Endowments Department, Mahaboobnagar, Mahaboobnagar District on 08-02-2000 under Section 43 of the A.P. Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 to recognize him as the member of the Founder family of the 2nd respondent temple-Sri Ram Mandir Temple, Kollapur Town, KollapurMandal, Mahaboobnagar District and accordingly to amend the certificate of registration has not been considered so far. The petitioner states that even the Executive Officer of the temple has already submitted the remarks stating that the prayer of the petitioner to recognize him as a member of founder family is genuine. In the circumstances, the contention of the petitioner is that there is absolutely no justifiable reason for keeping the application pending. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the application of the petitioner dated 08-02-2000 and to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. --------------- 23.07.2004 bud/tsnr To 1.
