Unchallenged administrative proceedings allotting temple pooja slots enforceable; no review without new grounds.

(By G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.)

The case on hand pertains to Arulmighu Mangalanatha Swamy Temple at Uthirakosamangai. Vide proceedings dated 18.06.1999, time slots and turns had been allotted for the various Archagar families. Mangaleswara Gurukkal and Devendra Gurukkal were given dates/time slots from 16^th to 20^th of every month. Several subsequent proceedings took place and they need not be referred to in this order. Suffice it to say that Devendra Gurukkal filed WP(MD)No.5246 of 2019 for directing the authorities to allow him to perform Pooja as Archagar as per the aforesaid proceedings. The writ petition was allowed by the learned Single Judge vide order dated 29.06.2022. This writ petition was taken up along with WP(MD) No.17951 of 2017 filed by Rajamani Gurukkal and given a disposal. WP(MD)No.17951 of 2017 was however dismissed. Challenging the dismissal of his writ petition, Rajamani Gurukkal filed WA(MD)No.906 of 2022. Granting liberty to him to avail appeal remedy, his writ appeal was disposed of. Challenging the order allowing WP(MD)No.5246 of 2019, the applicant herein filed WA(MD)No.788 of 2022. We dismissed the writ appeal even though we noted that the writ petition was allowed in a non-speaking manner. 2.The learned counsel for the review applicant reiterated all the contentions set out in the grounds of review. But we are not swayed by his submissions. This is for more than one reason. Devendra Gurukkal merely wanted enforcement of the proceedings issued in his favour. Those proceedings were not challenged by the review applicant. In the writ petition filed by Devendra Gurukkal, the review applicant was very much a party. The review applicant did not file any counter affidavit. At no point of time, the review applicant opposed the allotment and tile slot of Devendra Gurukkal. That is why, we dismissed the review applicant's writ appeal. No ground has been made out for reviewing our order. There is no merit in this review application. It stands dismissed. No costs.
