The petitioner states that he is the santhikkaran of the temple in relation to which the complaint is made. He says that there is unauthorised collection of funds by the fifth respondent samithi in violation of the provisions of Ext.C1 circular. The Malabar Devaswom Board stands to state that the local people had collected funds and renovated the temple, expending about Rs.1 crore and there is no reason to doubt their credentials. He also states that the renovation committee will be dissolved on completion of the above objectives. 2. In the aforesaid circumstances, we do not find any ground to interfere in the matter. If the petitioner has any complaint, he may move the competent authority under the WPC 22669/09 2 Malabar Devaswom Board, by filing a representation specifying the facts and particulars.
