In that view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the authorities concerned to consider the claim of the writ petitioner based on the proceedings dated 18.05.2002 of the Assistant Commissioner, Endowments Department, Guntur, in Rc.No.A3/ 10311/ 2001-Adm., whereby the petitioner was declared as one of the members from the Founder's family, in case steps are taken to constitute a Trust Board for Sri Seetharama Swamy Temple, Bollavaram Village. In case the claim of the writ petitioner is not considered, the authorities shall pass a reasoned order and serve a copy upon the writ petitioner within two

(02) weeks of passing any such order.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. No order as to costs.
