                        JUDGMENT

Radhakrishnan, J

Writ petition was preferred by the Travancore

Devaswom seeking a writ of mandamus restraining the

respondents 4 to 6 from constructing/widening the road

going in front of Mekkadu Devi Temple till the survey of

land of the Devaswom is completed by the second

respondent, Taluk Surveyor, and also for other

consequential reliefs. Interim order was passed by this

Court as early as on 9.10.2003. Respondents 1 to 5

received notice. However, notice send to R6 was

returned without signature. In such circumstances, we

are inclined to dispose of this Writ petition directing the

second respondent to complete the survey at the earliest.

Till that time, interim order already passed will continue.
