                              JUDGMENT

Raman,J.

Petitioner is a Hereditary Trustee of Arangam Temple, which

according to him, was held to be not a public temple by the

judgment rendered by this Court in an appeal filed against the

judgment of the civil court declaring that the temple is not a public

temple. But the Deputy Commissioner (Administration), without

notice to the petitioner, passed orders framing a scheme for the

above temple, as though it is a public temple. In such

circumstances, the petitioner has preferred a revision petition

before the Commissioner, H.R.&C.E. (Administration) Department,

Kozhikode (now Malabar Devaswom Board). The limited prayer

made in this writ petition is for speedy disposal of Ext.P1 revision

petition. Ext.P1 was filed in the year 2006.

2. Heard the learned Government Pleader also.

3. In the circumstances of the case, we direct the

Commissioner, Malabar Devaswom Board to consider Ext.P1 and

dispose of the same in accordance with law, after hearing the

petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period

of three months.

Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a

copy of this writ petition before the Commissioner for information

and compliance.

P.R.RAMAN,
Judge.
