A perusal of the record shows that by the impugned order, respondent No.3 was appointed as a Single Trustee to the subject temple. At the hearing, Sri M.Vidyasagar, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that since the Single Trustee was appointed in lieu of constitution of a Trust Board, whose term is only for two years, the appointment of respondent No.3 is deemed to have expired on the expiry of two years. He, therefore, submitted that the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition as infructuous, WPMP No.21985 of 2005 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dated 26th June, 2008 vrn
