Sub Court, Payyannur in O.P.No.60/1987. As per the scheme, the

temple has to be administered by a Managing Committee consisting of

eight members out of which, five are to be elected from hereditary

trustees and the remaining three are to be appointed from the public

Commissioner The term of the present committee expired on

03/08/2008. Election to the Managing Committee of the five member

hereditary trustees in the Board is already over. What remains is only

election to the non-hereditary trustees. There is a provision in the

scheme enabling the Deputy Commissioner to pass such orders in the

nature of an interim measure enabling the out going committee, to

continue till new managing committee takes charge after conducting

election. Ext.P1 is the application of the petitioner submitted before

W.P.(C).NO.24041/2008-K
