The order challenged in this Writ Petition is an inconsequential communication of the first respondent directing certain corrections to be carried out in the records of the Hindu Religious Charitable and Endowment Department.
2.Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials placed before this Court.
3.The Petitioner would claim that Arulmighu Selliyamman Temple is their tutelar deity and the temple is actually situated in S.No.104, Piranthani Village. But the records of the department show that the temple is situated in Pagayani village. On the report of the Assistant Commissioner of HR and CE Department, dated 3.6.09, the first respondent permitted the said officer to change the records to show the temple as A/M.Selliyamman Temple, Piranthani Village instead of Pagayani Village. It is this order that is challenged by the Petitioner.
4.It appears that there some dispute regarding the worship and conduct of festival in the said temple and a Peace Committee Meeting was convened by the Revenue Officials, Police as well HR & CE Department. In the said Peace Committee Meeting, certain decisions were taken and they were also recorded. Even in the proceedings of the Peace Committee Meeting, the temple is shown to be in Piranthani Village and not in Pagayani Village. Therefore I find no ground to interfere with the impugned order.
5.For the reasons stated above, this Writ Petition stands dismissed. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is dismissed. No costs.
