Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.

This writ petition deals with certain provisions in the terms to conduct Annadanam during the previous years. Such situations do not continue to be there. We have also on record the affidavit sworn to on behalf of the Travancore Devaswom Board. Nothing survives in this matter. Hence, this writ petition is dismissed.
