It is seen that initially tasdik allowance was fixed at the rate of Rs. 6,158/- but subsequently, the petitioner herein moved the authorities concerned for revision of tasdik allowance on account of rise in price of various commodities. Therefore, the Tahsildar of Nagamangala fixed the tasdik allowance after taking into consideration of the average five years yield from the lands from 1965-70. But respondents 2 and 3 have no authority in fixing the tasdik allowance and completely ignored the average five years agricultural produce and thereby, resulted in injustice to the petitioner but the Tahsildar examined the yield of crops to the extent met for maintenance of the temples and preform the pooja in detail, after taking into consideration the prices fixed, the Agricultural Department revised the tasdik allowance from Rs. 6,158/- to Rs. 16,368/- and the proposal submitted to the respondent No. 2/Deputy Commissioner that the petitioner is entitled to get the balance of tasdik allowance of Rs. 10,150/- per year and the petitioner has produced Annexure C which was forwarded to the Tahsildar by a letter dated 12-7-2000. But the Deputy Commissioner, Mandya has not at all taken any action on the proposal sent by the respondent No.3. Therefore, the petitioner herein has come up with this writ petition seeking order of mandamus to direct the respondent No.2 to fix the revision of tasdik allowance at the rate of Rs. 16,368/- P. A. No doubt that the petitioner, who is an Archak of Sri Anjaneyaswamy Temple at Hiduva village is having land to an extent of 10 Acres 20 Guntas and the Tahsildar has taken an average income for the five years and calculated that the petitioner is entitled to Rs. 16,368/- p.a. towards tasdik allowance. So, after deducting the tasdik allowance already fixed at the rate of Rs. 6,150/- as per the calculations of Tahsildar, the petitioner is entitled to balance allowance of Rs. 10,150/- p.m. The petitioner has rightly approached this Court since no action has been taken by the Deputy Commissioner. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. The 2nd respondent/Deputy Commissioner, Mandya Dist., Mandya, is directed to dispose of the proposal submitted by the 3rd respondent for fixation of tasdik allowance of Rs. 16,368/- as per Annexure C in accordance with law. 8.
