ORDER

Mr.P.Sanjay Gandhi, learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice for respondents 1 to 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner.

2. The above writ petition is clearly an internal dispute between the members of the petitioner association and the seventh respondent in respect of an alleged right over a temple, which has been constructed in a residential layout. To maintain the writ petition, the official respondents have been impleaded as respondents 1 to 6. Therefore, if the petitioner has a specific grievance against the seventh respondent, they have to necessarily approach the civil court and the writ petition is not a proper remedy.

3. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable, however, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the appropriate forum. No costs. Consequently, the above MP is also dismissed.
