1. These appeals are by the Zamorin of Calicut from decrees in two suits, O.S. Nos. 1 and 2 of 1929, in the District Court of South Malabar, in both of which he was defendant 2. Both suits were brought under Section 63 (4), Hindu Religious Endowments Act, to amend a scheme of administration settled by the Hindu Religious Endowment Board (defendant 1 in both suits) under Section 63 (1) of the Act in respect of the Guruvayur Davaswom of which the appellant is a trustee (uralan). The plaintiff in O.S. 1 was the Malliseri Namburi, respondent 1 in A.S. 211. His claim was that ha also was an uralan of the Devaswom. His complaint was that the Board had in their scheme ignored his rights and he prayed that the scheme be amended in that respect. The plaintiffs in O.S. 2 were certain worshippers on whose petition the Board had started the enquiry, which led to the scheme. Their complaint was that the Board had accepted in toto the scheme put forward by the Zamorin and had not adopted sufficient safeguards for the proper management of the institution, and their chief prayer was that the scheme should be amended by adding to the number of trustees and placing the management in the hand
