Before making this order, it is made clear that the fourth respondent will remain bound by this order and fourth respondent cannot be heard to contend or agitate that he was not before this Court, as Court notice has been issued on 25.07.2019 and the case file reveals that fourth respondent has refused to receive Court notice on 30.07.2019. 4. It is also made clear that not only the main writ petition is taken up by consent, the order that is being passed now is also a consent order, ie., consent common to all three counsel and the respective parties, who are before this Court. 5. Nucleus of this entire writ petition is a temple, which goes by the name, 'Sri Andisamy Temple', at Keela Uppilikundu Village, Mela Uppilikundu Post, Kariyapatti Taluk, Virudhunagar District (hereinafter 'said temple' for brevity, clarity and convenience). 6.

Certain discrepancies and disputes arose between two groups of individuals belonging to the Keela Uppilikundu Village regarding conduct of said festival in said temple, as these discrepancies and disputes escalated, the same went before the second respondent, ie., jurisdictional 'Revenue Divisional Officer' ('RDO' for brevity) and the RDO passed an order 'dated 12.07.2019 bearing reference No. Na.Ka.A2/3572/2019' (hereinafter 'impugned order' for the sake of brevity, clarity and convenience). 8. Considering that this is a consent order and considering the narrowed down scope of the whole matter now, short facts shorn of elaboration will suffice and therefore it would suffice to say that vide impugned order, third respondent directed that said temple shall be locked and the key shall be handed over to the revenue department. There is no disputation that this has happened. Thereafter, instant writ petition came to be filed and my learned predecessor Judge passed an order dated 01.08.2019. Most relevant part of the order is articulated in Paragraph 2 and the same reads as follows: 2....... “This is only an interim arrangement for the purpose of allowing the devotees to enter into the Temple and worship the God and with regard to the rights of conducting Temple function between the two groups, the issue can be decided later.

Learned counsel for writ petitioner submits that it is imperative that the said festival is conducted without reference to the rights and contentions of the parties, as it is a custom, which cannot be breached. It is submitted that there is a belief that breach in conduct of said festival will incur the wrath of the presiding Deity. In this backdrop and in this spirit, learned counsel for the writ petitioner submitted that it is well open to the fifth respondent to conduct the said festival albeit under the supervision of the RDO. 13. It is made clear that the writ petitioner's rights and contentions are left open, the fifth respondent's rights and contentions also remain left open and fifth respondent conducting said festival on aforementioned dates will not confer any rights in future and will not vest in the fifth respondent any rights in future. 14. In this backdrop, it is submitted by writ petitioner that such an arrangement is agreed to, as it is a matter of faith that the said festival ought to be conducted on these three dates, as alluded to supra. 15.
