JUDGMENT
Ramachandran Nair,J.
Petitioner is challenging Ext.P8 notice issued by the first
respondent directing the petitioner to withhold appointments of four
persons in the temples under the control of the petitioner. Even though
petitioner has raised specific allegations on the complaint from the
second respondent, who is ex-non-hereditary trustee, second
respondent has not filed any counter affidavit denying the allegations.
Moreover persons appointed are handling instruments like, chenda,
Maddalam, Kuzhal, Kombu , etc. Second respondent obviously is not
an applicant for the post. Petitioner’s case is that appointees are
persons traditionally engaged in the same job and no-one in the field
has any complaint against the appointment of these persons. In the
circumstances, we do not find any bona fides about the complaint filed
by the second respondent, based on which first respondent has issued
2
Ext.P8. It will be open to the first respondent to take action against the
petitioner for anything done improper.
W.P. is allowed quashing Ext.P8.
