This Writ Petition has been filed for a Mandamus, seeking for a direction from the respondent to extend the tenure of the Administrative Committee of the petitioner by considering the petitioner's representation, dated 11.09.2018. 2. Heard Mr.K.K.Senthil, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.Mohammed Mohideen, learned Counsel appearing for the respondent. 3. According the petitioner, the Administrative Committee for the management of the petitioner was approved by the respondent on 02.08.2014 for a period of three years by lifting order of direct management. Further, it is contended by the petitioner that sanction was granted for demolition and re-construction of Mosque building by the respondent. According to the petitioner, the petitioner has given a representation, dated 11.09.2018 to the respondent seeking for extension of the tenure of the Administrative Committee to enable the completion of Mosque buildings. According to the petitioner, due to the demonetization and shortage of building materials, the construction was not able to be completed within the stipulated time and only in such circumstances, the petitioner sought for extension of time under the representation dated 11.09.2018. 4. The petitioner in the representation, dated 11.09.2018, had sought for extension of tenure of the Administrative Committee upto 20.02.2020. Since the said period has now come to an end, the petitioner will necessarily have to give a fresh representation seeking further extension. 5. Accordingly, this Court directs the petitioner to give a fresh representation seeking for extension of tenure of the Administrative Committee of Nagal Nagar Jumma Pallivasal and Junction Pallivasal, Nagal Nagar, Dindigul, for a further period in order to enable them to complete the Masque buildings.
