THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.21009 of 2009 ORDER: 1 Though this Writ Petition is listed under the interlocutory caption, at request of the counsel on both sides, the Writ Petition itself is heard finally and disposed of. 2 This Writ Petition is filed seeking a direction by way of mandamus to declare the action of the respondent authorities in taking steps for installation of statues of political leaders within the land of Ramalayam temple at Mittapalem village, Tripuranthakam Mandal, Prakasam District. 3 Petitioner is an Ex-Sarpanch of the village. It is the grievance of the petitioner that if the statutes are erected in the land of the temple, it will be obstruction for the persons who go to the temple for worshipping Lord Rama. 4 In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondent No.2, it is stated that statues were already erected but not in the land of the temple and it is away from the temple land. 5 In view of the stand taken by the respondents in the counter affidavit, filed by the second respondent, that the land of the temple was not used for erection of statues of the political leaders, no direction can be granted in this Writ Petition. 6 Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. --------------------------- R.Subhash Reddy, J. 19.12.2011 Kvsn
