Radhakrishnan, J.
This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of certiorari to quash
Ext.P16 interim order passed by the Deputy Commissioner in OA
17/07. In Ext.P16 order, the Deputy Commissioner has stayed the
order dated 27/6/2007 issued by the Executive Officer, which is
Ext.P11 order. Since the matter is seized before the Deputy
Commissioner, counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted
that the Deputy Commissioner has no jurisdiction to entertain that
appeal. We are of the view that the matter can be decided by the
Deputy Commissioner. Petitioner has also filed Ext.P5 complaint
before the 5th respondent and the same is pending, which shall be
taken note of. Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner shall
take note of the interest of the Devaswoms and welfare of
devotees.
With the above observation, this writ petition is disposed of.
K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE.
ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE.
