Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that; a. in case, the Devasthanam does not intend to lease the premises to any commercial use, after evicting the petitioner, no further steps need be taken. b. If the Devasthanam intends to grant lease for the said premises, it shall be only through public auction, and if the petitioner is willing to pay the rent, which is fetched as highest bid in the auction, the petitioner shall be granted fresh lease, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ 31st May 2006 PAN
