P.R. Raman, J:

The petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus, commanding the

respondents 1 and 2, not to disturb the property including the

pathway from the N.H. 17 to the Raveeswarapuram temple, of

which, the petitioner is a trustee, without measuring the

property with notice to the petitioner or other persons

representing the Raveeswarapurm temple.

2. The contention raised, as such would clearly shows that

this is a civil dispute . This Court under Art. 226 jurisdiction will

not adjudicate such questions of civil nature, since it involves

taking evidence, both oral and documentary and is also time

consuming process. The proper remedy available to the

petitioner is to approach the concerned Civil Court, if, the

property in question belongs to him.

W.P.(C) No. 32776 OF 2009

2

Therefore, without prejudice to such a right, we decline to

interfere with the matter.

P.R. RAMAN,
JUDGE.

P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON,
JUDGE.
