The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents 5 and 6 submitted that the title of the respondents has been confirmed up to the Supreme Court and the respondents cannot be treated as trespassers in the property and the petitioner does not have any locus standi for the relief as sought for in this writ petition. Page 4 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 1324 of 2013 4. In the considered view of this Court, this Court is not going into the dispute between the parties. It will suffice, if the instructions received by the learned Additional Government Pleader is recorded. If at all any action is initiated under Section 78 of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959 and the private respondents are aggrieved by the same, it is always open for them to challenge it in accordance with law. It is not necessary for this Court to deal with that issue in the present writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of in the above terms. No costs.
