           Dated this the 12th day of June, 2008

                       JUDGMENT

I do not propose to embark upon a detailed

appreciation of the facts involved in this case in

circumstances where it is now conceded that

notwithstanding the directions in Ext.P6 judgment,

petitioner was not heard by the Devaswom Commissioner

before passing Ext.P7 order. Learned Standing Counsel

for the Travancore Devaswom Board, Mr.Sreekumar

submits that the petitioner’s representation is considered

by Commissioner, but he was not heard in person.

In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing

the second respondent to reconsider the case of the

petitioner in terms of the directions in Ext.P6 judgment.

Petitioner shall be heard and if the Commissioner feels

that it is necessary to hear the fourth respondent in

Ext.P6, as also the fourth respondent in the present writ

petition, they shall be heard and fresh orders shall be

passed by the Commissioner in relation to the petitioner

W.P.(C).17123/2008
2

within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a

copy of this judgment. Needless to say that the

petitioner shall be retained in Aranmula Devaswom, till

fresh orders are passed by the Commissioner in this

regard.

V.GIRI,
Judge
