This Court while directing rule nisi, by order dated 14.7.2004, granted interim suspension of the impugned proceedings dated 25.6.2004. However, the 1st respondent has again issued a notification calling for applications for appointment of Board of Trustees. Contending that the said action of the 1st respondent was contrary to the interim order granted by this Court, the petitioner filed W.P.No.17964 of 2005. This Court disposed of the said writ petition at the stage of admission by order dated 12.8.2005 directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the petitioner’s application for recognizing him as founder trustee/member of the founder family and thereafter appoint trustees to the Devasthanam. In view of the aforesaid subsequent events, no further enquiry is necessary in this writ petition. Accordingly the Writ Petition is disposed of in terms of the directions in W.P.No.17964 of 2005 directing the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner, if not already passed, and then take necessary steps for appointment of trustees to the temple in question. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 26.11.2008 gbs
