... Respondent Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, for the issuance of writ of mandamus directing the respondent authority to give permission to conduct the cultural programme at Payanapalli Arulmighu Sri Vinayagar Koil Kumbabisegam Thiruvizha on 26.05.2016 at Natrampalli Taluk, Vellore District by considering the petitioner's representation dated 21.05.2016.

For Petitioner :

Mr.P.Murugan Raja For Respondent :

Mr.R.Govindasamy, Special Government Pleader

O R D E R

By consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal.

2. The petitioner claims to be the Head of the organizing committee of Payanapalli Arulmighu Sri Vinayagar Koil. For conducting kumbabisegam and cultural programme for the said Temple, the petitioner submitted an application dated 21.05.2016 to the respondent praying for permission to conduct cultural programme in a grand manner in connection with the temple festival to be held on 26.05.2016. Since no order has been passed, the petitioner has filed this writ petition.

3. Per contra, Mr.R.Govindasamy, the learned Special Government Pleader, would submit that the petitioner has approached this Court in the very last minute and it will be very difficult for the respondent to pass order before the date of conducting the temple festival.

4. This Court has considered the rival submissions.

5. In the light of the above facts and circumstances, it is not possible to direct the respondent to dispose of the application today and in the alternative, this Court is of the view that it would be suffice to permit the petitioner to submit one more representation to the respondent praying for appropriate permission to conduct cultural dance programme in connection with the temple festival well in advance and the respondent, on receipt of the said representation, is directed to consider the same in accordance with law and pass orders within a period of one week thereafter and inform the decision taken to the petitioner.

The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. Sd/- Vacation Officer //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar gpa/gm To The Inspector of Police, Natrampalli Police Station, Vellore District.
