Ashok Bhushan, Ag.CJ Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned State Attorney.

2.

By this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a mandamus directing the respondents to give adequate and effective police protection for the temple function and also for the "Thiruarattu Maholsavam" of Ammancheriyil Devi Temple from 20.2.2015 to 1.3.2015.

3.

The petitioner's case in the writ petition is that the said function is a large function for which the temple authorities have to make several arrangements. It is submitted that last year also the petitioner had approached this Court by filing W.P.(C) No.5333 of 2014, which was disposed of on 24.2.2014 recording the submissions made by the learned Government Pleader that the police had already made sufficient arrangements to give necessary and adequate protection during festival time. 4.

Learned State Attorney submits that for the ensuing

W.P.(C) No.4316 of 2015 -: 2 :- temple function, the police shall take all precautions for maintaining law and order.

In the above view of the matter, we see no reason to issue any further direction in this writ petition. Recording the submission made by the learned State Attorney, this Writ Petition is closed.
