Item No.22
THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HIMA KOHLI
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY
W.A.No.296 OF 2019
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Hima Kohli)
1. The appellants/writ petitioners who are tenants in the subject
property, are aggrieved by the order dated 25.01.2019, passed by the
learned Single Judge dismissing a writ petition filed by them for
issuance of a Writ of Mandamus against the respondent
No.1/Commissioner of Endowments granting permission in favour of the respondent No.5 for re-construction of Sri Mahalakshmi Ammavari Temple at Srimali Brahmin Nyathi Sangh, Feelkhana, Hyderabad, in terms of an order dated 04.09.2018.
2. In the impugned order, the learned Single Judge has observed that the appellants/writ petitioners do not have any locus standi to challenge the development activities proposed by the respondent No.1 either at the instance of the respondent No.5 or at the instance of the Executive Officer of the Temple or any third party, who may be willing to contribute to the said development work and therefore, the request made by the appellants/writ petitioners for interfering in the proceedings dated 04.09.2018 sanctioning permission for re-construction of the temple on donor scheme, has been turned down.
3. We have enquired from learned counsel for the respondent No.5 if his client is asserting any rights on the subject temple or its management by virtue of carrying out the development work, to W.A. No.296 of 2019 Page 1 of 2 2 which the reply is in the negative. Learned counsel states that no such claim is being made by his client merely on undertaking development activities at the subject temple and no strings are attached to the said development work.
4. In view of above statement, we do not propose to interfere in the impugned order. The present appeal is dismissed in limine along with the pending applications, if any.
