Kerala HC5 Mar 2024OP(C)/49/2020

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

Defendants in a Section 92 CPC temple scheme suit challenged an execution order upholding temple committee elections where voters were not restricted to permanent residents of Anjilipra Kara. The High Court held the residence requirement applied only to elected committee members, not voters, found no ground for interference under Article 227, and dismissed the petition.

THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
05.03.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:

¶167

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶168

¶169

JUDGMENT

¶170

Dated, this the 5th day of March 2024

¶171

This O.P. is carried by defendants 2 and 3 in
O.S.No. 201/2011 of the Sub Court, Mavelikkara,
who are the petitioners in E.A.No.215/2018 in
E.P.No.150/2014 arising from the said original
suit. The compass of controversy is limited
to Ext.P13 order, which dismissed Ext.P10 objection

¶172

to Ext.P9 Commissioner’s Report. The suit in
question is a scheme suit filed under Section 92 of
the Code of Civil Procedure in respect of a temple
by name ‘Vadakkan Kovil Bhagavathy Kshethram’, which
belongs to two families by name ‘Peratheril’ and
‘Kalarickalethu’ at Anjilipra kara, Mavelikkara.
Ext.P1 is the preliminary decree passed in the suit,
which was followed by Ext.P2 final judgment,
accepting the draft scheme suggested by the
plaintiffs in the suit (respondents 2 to 7 herein).
Ext.P3 is the final decree and Ext.P4 is the scheme
duly approved by the court. An execution petition

¶173

¶174

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶175

was preferred by the temple, which is marked as
Ext.P6 herein. As per the scheme, the seniormost
member of the two families will be the President and
a 17 member administrative committee has to be
formed by election. An advocate commissioner was
appointed to conduct elections, who preferred Ext.P9
Report. Ext.P10 is the application to set aside the
commission report on the solitary ground that only
those persons who are permanently residing in
Anjilipra Kara alone are entitled to vote in the
elections. The said objection is seen rejected vide
Ext.P13 final order, which is under challenge.

¶176

2.Learned counsel for the petitioners and the
respondents.

¶177

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would invite

¶178

the attention of this court to Ext.P8 notice issued
by the advocate commissioner as regard elections to
the committee. It was specifically pointed out, by

¶179

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶180

¶181

reading from paragraph no.1 of the notice, that only
those persons who are having their permanent
residence at Anjilipra Kara and who are the members
of the trust alone will have the right to vote in
the election. Then, the attention of this court was
invited to Ext.P9 commission report, wherein the
objection preferred by one member as regards the
requirement of a permanent resident of Anjilipra
Kara is seen dealt with by the commissioner. The
commissioner would state that without looking into
the requirement of local residence, the applications
preferred by the entire members of the two families
were accepted. In Ext.P13 impugned order, the
learned Sub Judge found no illegality or infirmity
with respect to the course adopted by the advocate
commissioner in Ext.P9 commission report. The
learned Sub Judge found that, as per the scheme,
persons who are outside the families can also be a
member of the administrative committee of the
temple. It is also found that there is no

¶182

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶183

¶184

stipulation in the scheme that the members of
Anjilipra Kara alone are entitled to be included in
the list of members. As regards the contention that,
because of the stipulation in Ext.P8 notice, several
other persons who are not permanently residing at
Anjilipra Kara have lost their valuable right to
vote for election, it was held by the learned Sub
Judge that no complaint was raised by any such
person, alleging loss of such opportunity. According
to the learned counsel, the elections which are
conducted contrary to the requirement in the scheme
and contrary to Ext.P8 notice cannot be sustained,
for which reason Ext.P9 commission report is liable
to be set aside.

¶185

4.Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent
nos.2,7,12,28,56,57,64,72,74,80,89,100,110,111,117
and 168, who are the 17 member committee elected in
the election, would submit that as per Ext.P2 final
judgment, all members of the two families, who are

¶186

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶187

¶188

the beneficiaries of the trust, are entitled to vote
in the elections. Inviting the attention to Ext.P4
scheme, learned counsel would point out that the
requirement to be the permanent resident of
Anjilipra Kara is only for those who are elected in
the 16 member administrative committee, whereas such
a requirement with respect to residence is not
applicable to the members of the trust who are
entitled to vote for elections.

¶189

5.Having heard the learned counsel appearing for
both sides, this court finds little merit in this
Original Petition. This court will straight away
extract the disputed requirement with respect to the
permanent residence at Anjilipra Kara has contained
in clause no 4 of Ext.P4 scheme.

¶190

“I V അംഗത് വ നിബ് നകൾ :

¶192

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶193

¶194

6.As rightly contended by the learned counsel for
the respondents, the said requirement as regards
permanent residence in Anjilipra Kara is applicable
only to the 16 member administrative committee to be
elected as per the scheme. As regards the persons
who are entitled to be the members of the trust, the
following stipulation in the operative portion of
the trust deed is relevant and extracted below:

¶195

" ഈ ്ᩏ᪚➚ിലെ3 പരിധിയിൽലെ7ടു്ᩐ വർ ആ്ᨼ ി�ി്ᩚ ാ മുറിയിൽ പേപരാപേ്ᩈ രിൽ, കളരി്ᨪ പേ�്ᩈ് എ്ᩐ ീ ര്ᩂ് ഈഴവ കുടുംബ്ᨲ ളിൽ ലെപൺവഴിയും ആണവഴിയും ജനി്ᨴ എ്ᩤ ാവരും, തുടർ്ᩐ് ടി. ശാഖകളിൽ ജാതരാകു്ᩐ എ്ᩤ ാ ᪚➌ീപുരുഷ്ᩖ ാരുമായിരിᨪ᪎ം.”

¶196

7.It could thus been seen that the very edifice of
the objection raised by the petitioner herein as
against Ext.P9 commission report is untenable, for
the reason that the requirement of permanent
residence in Anjilipra Kara is not applicable for
the members, who are entitled to vote in the
elections.

¶197

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶198

¶199

8.This court finds a logic for such stipulation as
regards the residential status of the members of the
elected committee, as distinguishable from being the
members of the trust. As regards the persons who
carry out the administration of the temple, they
should be physically present in the locality;
whereas for the members of the trust, who would only
exercise their right to vote in electing the
administrative committee - so as to leave the
administration on the hands of such committee - need
not have such residential status.

¶200

9.What remains is the further contention that
Ext.P8 notice is misleading to the effect that those
persons who are permanently residing in Anjilipra
Kara alone are entitled to vote. The said contention
is also liable to be rejected for two reasons.
Before adverting to the same, this court will
extract the disputed portion of Ext.P8 notice.

(Underlined by me for emphasis)

¶206

10.It is true that there is an indication in Ext P8
notice that the requirement of residence at
Anjilipra Kara is also indicated for becoming an
eligible voter. However, the same is stipulated
simultaneous to the stipulation that all persons,

¶207

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶208

¶209

male and female, born in the two families through
the matrilineal line or the patrilineal line are
entitled for being voters. The second reason is the
one as found by the learned Sub Judge to the effect
that no person has come forward with a grievance on
account of the alleged misleading statement in
Ext.P8 notice, with a grievance that he was deprived
of the valuable opportunity to vote.

¶210

11.This Court notice that objection as regards the
administration of the temple is seen picked up only
by two persons, that too with respect to a technical
aspect, which has not gone into the roots of the
election, nor has not vitiated the same, but
ultimately boils down to an alleged misleading
statement in Ext.P8 notice, with an alleged
consequence of a theoretical possibility that, some
among the members would have lost their opportunity.
An election to a temple pursuant to the disputes
which commenced from the year 2001, followed by a
preliminary decree and a final decree and settlement

¶211

O.P.(C).No. 49 of 2020

¶212

of scheme, is not liable to be interfered with on
such a peripheral ground. This court finds no reason
for interference under Article 227 of the
constitution.

¶213

This Original Petition is dismissed accordingly.

¶214

All interim orders will stand vacated.
