Challenge in these writ petitions is against Exts.P11 & P4

orders respectively, by which, the petitioner has been removed from

the managership of the Temples mentioned therein.

2. Although, several contentions have been raised by the

learned counsel for the petitioner impugning the validity of the

aforesaid orders, learned standing counsel appearing for the

respondent Board points out that the impugned orders are revisable

under Section 18 of the Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable

Endowments Act, 1951.

Having regard to the fact that statutory remedy is available

against the impugned orders, we do not think it necessary to

entertain these writ petitions. However, in order to enable the

petitioner to move the revisional authority and to seek appropriate

orders, we feel it only appropriate that the impugned orders should

be kept in abeyance for a short period. Therefore, it is directed that

Ext.P11 order in WP(C) No.14402/2010 & Ext.P4 order in WP(C)

No.14454/2010 will be kept in abeyance for a period of one month

from today.

These writ petitions are disposed of as above.
