According to the petitioners, their family have been conducting the Bramma Urchavam Festival of the said Temple for several years and that one Mr.S.R.Babu Naidu, objected to it. Therefore, it appears that there is a dispute in respect of conducting Bramma Urchavam Festival of Uthukadu Arulmigu Devi Ellaiamman Temple, which can be decided only by the Civil Court. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant the relief as sought for by the petitioners. However, the petitioners are at liberty approach the Civil Court in order to establish their rights over the above said temple. If they want to participate as ordinary devotees in the festival organized by the Villagers, they cannot be prevented by any one.
With the above observations, this Writ Petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar mps To 1.The Superintendent of Police, Kancheerpuram District.
