JUDGMENT
Ravikumar, J.
The captioned writ petition has been filed on being aggrieved by the delay in the matter of consideration of Ext.P4 application submitted by the petitioners under section 29 of the Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act. When this matter is taken up for consideration, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Malabar Devaswom Board submitted that Ext.P4 application was placed for consideration before the Board and, now it stands posted to 5.11.2020. In such circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised in Ext.P4, taking note of the fact that the Board has already taken up the matter for consideration and the matter will be disposed of only in accordance with law, we are inclined to close this writ petition recording the said submission. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE K.HARIPAL, JUDGE W.P.(C).20288/2020 4 APPENDIX PETITIONERS' EXHIBITS: EXHIBIT P1 THE PHOTOCOPY OF REQUEST LETTER DATED 23.04.2018.
