TO JUDGE rs PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.21300 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of August, 2011. J U D G M E N T PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. This writ petition is filed by the petitioner who claims to be the Secretary of Mayankott Malanchavar Devaswom, claiming protection for the lives and the properties of the petitioner, the members of the temple committee, to the Priest of the temple and also to the worshipers from what is described as threat and trespass of respondents 5 to 15. Learned counsel for the party respondents would submit that the property issue is before the civil court and the civil court has already issued Ext.P6 interim order of injunction. The above order has not been violated by the party respondents. Having considered the submissions, we are of the view that if there is violation of Ext.P6 interim order of injunction, it is the civil court which should be moved. But we find some correctness in the submissions of 2 W.P.(C) No.21300 of 2011 Mr.Mohan Lal learned counsel for the petitioner that, as there is no Presiding Officer in the court which passed Ext.P6 for some time, the petitioner is unable to move the court. In connection with this, we notice the interim order dated 4.8.2011 which we passed in this case. According to us, interest of justice will be served if the above interim order is made absolute. We make it clear that the interim order is made absolute and we dispose of the writ petition accordingly. We clarify that the confirmation of the above interim order will not cause any prejudice to the rival contentions raised in the suit in which Ext.P6 order is passed. The suit will be decided by the learned Sub Judge on the basis of the evidence which comes on record. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE ami/
