Exhibit P2 is a complaint submitted by the petitioner before the Malabar Devaswom Board. It is submitted on behalf of the Malabar Devaswom Board that a show cause notice has been issued to the persons against whom action was prima facie found necessary. Under such circumstances, all that is required at this time is to conclude such proceedings after giving appropriate opportunity of hearing in accordance with law to all persons who are eligible to be heard in relation to the matter. This writ petition is accordingly ordered directing that following due process, the complaint raised in Exhibit P2 shall be considered by hearing the necessary parties. Let this be done untrammelled by any observations in this Judgment. Malabar Devaswom Board authorities will ensure that proceedings are completed without delay.

Ordered accordingly.
