JUDGMENT
(By G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.) Heard both sides.
2.The department has filed this Writ Appeal against the order dated 30.03.2023 made in W.P(MD)No.18048 of 2023. The learned single Judge had disposed of the Writ Petition in the following terms: "8.The respondents 1 and 2 are directed to consider the judgment passed in C.S.Nos.208 of 1927 and 89 of 1928 as also the proceedings of the Commissioner of HR & CE Department, dated 30.03.2007, wherein it has been clarified that only the properties that are the subject matter of the proceedings before the Court alone would constitute a religious endowment attached to the Mutt and in respect of all other properties, the Board of Commissioner, HR & CE has no jurisdiction and pass appropriate orders for registering the document presented by the petitioner. The said exercise shall be completed within a period of three weeks. However, there shall be no order as to costs." 2/4
Though in paragraph no.7 it has been mentioned that a perusal of the schedule to the decree shows that the petition mentioned property was not included in the same, it should be taken only as a prima facie observation. The authorities will have to act in terms of the direction set out in the paragraph no.8 of the order of the learned single Judge. We do not find any merit in this Writ Appeal. 3.This Writ Appeal stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
