Petitioner claims to be a nominee of the Karanavar

of the family which is stated to be holding the Karanma

the petitioner before the Travancore Devaswom Board as

Ext.P4 for approving his nominee by the karanavar, is

pending before the first respondent. Fourth respondent is

the rival claimant for the position.

In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing

the first respondent to consider Ext.P4 and pass orders

thereon, after hearing the petitioner and the fourth

respondent within a period of two months from the date of

receipt of a copy of this judgment.
