Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties, it is not in dispute that the temples in question are notified temples under the provisions of the Mysore (Personal and Miscellaneous) Inam Abolition Act, 1954. 4. The petitioners claim to be villagers of Chamanahalli Village. In that view of the matter, the petitioners have no locus-standi to challenge the impugned orders passed by the respondent-Land Tribunal, T. Narasipura Taluk, as they are neither tenants nor owners of the lands in question. Therefore, the petitioners have no locus-standi to challenge the orders passed by the respondent-Land Tribunal, as the temples in question are notified temples, it is the duty of the respondent-State to take care of and protect the interests of the said temples. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB; List No.: 1 Sl No.: 17
