Vikramajit Sen, C.J.1. This appeal assails the order dated 3rd December 2010 passed by the learned Single Judge dismissing the writ petition in which the prayer was for quashing the selection of Dr. K.

1. The order made by the Taluka Executive Magistrate on 05.04.2011, confirmed by the learned Judge of Fast Track Court-Ill at Mandya, has been called into question in this petition.2. I have heard learned counsel for parties and I have gone through the impugned orders.3. The dispute between contesting parties relates to performance of jathras and also light to receive offerings from public to expend for jathras and performance of poojas in Sri Chowdeshwari Temple of Hemmanahalli Village. Maddur Taiuk.4. The II-respondent claims such right as a hereditary right. The petitioners claim such a right as trustees.5. In my considered opinion, the dispute between parties viz. one party asserting customary right and the other party asserting right of trustees cannot be adjudicated upon under section 145 Cr.P.C, which is primarily intended to pass a tentative order to prevent breach of peace and tranquility concerning any land or water dispute.In the case on hand, parties are not claiming any ri...
