JUDGMENT
[Judgment of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.]
By the order impugned in the Writ Appeal, the Writ Court has granted permission to the first respondent to conduct Annadhanam on one day i.e. , 15.08.2024. The said date has already expired. Admittedly, applications are pending before the Joint Commissioner, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department with reference to the rights regarding conduct of Aadi Thiruvizha in the Temple. Therefore, we see no ground to interfere with the

orders in Review. The Writ Appeal is dismissed. The review order will not serve
as a basis of any claim made in future regarding conduct of festivals or Annadhanam or ''fplh ntl;L''. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
