JUDGMENT

Ramachandran Nair, J.

The main prayer in the writ petition is to permit the Board of Trustees of Sri.Thricherumanna alias Kottiyoor Temple to continue in office. It is clear from the pleadings that the term of the Chairman is to expire on 23/05/2015. We are considering the conduct of election in another writ petition filed by one of the hereditary trustees namely, W.P.(C)No.14710/2015. It is also submitted by the learned standing counsel for the Commissioner that the Malabar Devaswom Board has appointed a Special Officer in view of the contingency that is arising on 23.05.2015. Therefore, we close the writ petition as infructuous. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE sv.
