The suit is<\/p>\n<p>for a declaration and recovery of possession.<\/p>\n<p>It is the case of the plaintiff that Pazhoor<\/p>\n<p>Perumthrikkovil Temple is an ancient Temple of<\/p>\n<p>the State and it is owned by 14 families and<\/p>\n<p>those  members  of     the     14   families     under  an<\/p>\n<p>agreement  dated     22.1.66       has      entrusted  the<\/p>\n<p>administration of the Temple with the first<\/p>\n<p>defendant for a period of six years or until a<\/p>\n<p>new body is created for the administration of<\/p>\n<p>the Temple.  Now it is the case of the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>that   nine   such       families         being    totally<\/p>\n<p>dissatisfied with the management conducted by<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 334 OF 1998<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the first defendant had cancelled the power of<\/p>\n<p>management in favour of D1 by virtue of Ext.A1<\/p>\n<p>and therefore challenges the alienation made by<\/p>\n<p>the first defendant in favour of strangers and<\/p>\n<p>thus a suit for recovery of possession is filed<\/p>\n<p>on the strength of title.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.   On the other hand defendants 1 to 3<\/p>\n<p>would contend that the management of the temple<\/p>\n<p>takes in the power to deal the with the property<\/p>\n<p>and it has not been cancelled by Ext.A1 and<\/p>\n<p>therefore the plaintiff has no locus standi at<\/p>\n<p>all to file the suit.     It is stated that though<\/p>\n<p>the agreement Ext.A1 is alleged to be written in<\/p>\n<p>the     month   of  September  1994   it  is   seen<\/p>\n<p>registered only on 14.11.94 and at that time one<\/p>\n<p>of    the    signatories to   the  document  namely<\/p>\n<p>Jayananthan Namboodiri was not alive as he died<\/p>\n<p>on 9.11.94.       It is also stated that though two<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 334 OF 1998<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of the persons representing two Illoms&#8217; were<\/p>\n<p>incompetent to represent the Iloms and therefore<\/p>\n<p>at the most only there were six illoms that had<\/p>\n<p>joined Ext.A1 and so the document Ext.A1 would<\/p>\n<p>not have any binding effect so as to cancel<\/p>\n<p>Ext.B3 which was entered into by the members of<\/p>\n<p>the family.      The Court also on an appreciation<\/p>\n<p>of the materials came to the conclusion that<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A1 as such does not take away or invalidate<\/p>\n<p>Ext.B3 and therefore held that the plaintiff was<\/p>\n<p>not competent to institute a suit.    It was also<\/p>\n<p>held by the Court that as per Ext.A1 the persons<\/p>\n<p>who has to institute the suit are the president<\/p>\n<p>and the treasurer whereas they have not joined<\/p>\n<p>as such in that capacity and therefore the suit<\/p>\n<p>is not maintainable on that ground also.   It has<\/p>\n<p>to be stated that the suit is filed on the<\/p>\n<p>strength of Ext.A1.       It is not filed in the<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 334 OF 1998<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>capacity of a member of a family or beneficiary.<\/p>\n<p>According to the plaintiffs Ext.A1 confirms the<\/p>\n<p>right of the plaintiff to institute the suit.<\/p>\n<p>But in the light of the finding rendered by the<\/p>\n<p>learned Subordinate Judge that the majority of<\/p>\n<p>the families are not there in Ext.A1 and further<\/p>\n<p>when the members who had instituted the suit are<\/p>\n<p>not competent under Ext.A1 also to file the<\/p>\n<p>suit,       the suit itself is not maintainable.<\/p>\n<p>When the suit itself is not maintainable, it is<\/p>\n<p>not proper on the part of the Court to enter<\/p>\n<p>into a finding regarding the transaction entered<\/p>\n<p>into between the parties.    I make it very clear<\/p>\n<p>that I am not expressing anything on merits with<\/p>\n<p>respect to the transaction and it is a matter<\/p>\n<p>that has to be considered only in a properly<\/p>\n<p>constituted suit.    Therefore the finding entered<\/p>\n<p>into by the Subordinate Judge in this case would<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 334 OF 1998<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>not     militate   against  the  parties  who  are<\/p>\n<p>competent to file a proper suit.     It is for the<\/p>\n<p>Court to consider the merits and demerits of<\/p>\n<p>both the sides and decide the issue in that<\/p>\n<p>case.       Therefore this appeal is disposed of<\/p>\n<p>holding     that  the  present  plaintiffs on  the<\/p>\n<p>strength of Ext.A1 are not entitled to institute<\/p>\n<p>the    suit    and therefore  the  suit  cannot be<\/p>\n<p>entertained.      Parties are at liberty to file a<\/p>\n<p>fresh litigation, in accordance with law, where<\/p>\n<p>all the matters can be considered by the Court<\/p>\n<p>when it is a properly framed suit.<\/p>\n<p>                           M.N.
