The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner's father had been administering the Guruvajiyammal temple and festival for several years in the capacity of Administrator-cum-Poojari. After his 2/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP.MP.(MD)No.950 of 2026 demise, the petitioner has been performing the pooja rituals. He further submitted that the first respondent, with a malafide intention, formed a trust under a registered Trust Deed dated 03.05.2013, claiming exclusive authority to maintain and administer the aforesaid deity home, which is legally unsustainable. The petitioner's father, and thereafter the petitioner, had been performing the pooja rituals and maintaining the aforesaid deity home. However, all of a sudden, the first respondent started interfering with the administration and poojariship of the said temple. Hence, the petitioner lodged a complaint before the fifth respondent. However, suppressing the true facts, the first respondent approached this Court by filing W.P.(Crl.)(MD) No.3151 of 2026 and, without affording an opportunity to the petitioner herein to put forth his case, obtained an order from this Court. 3. He further submitted that the petitioner herein has filed a suit in O.S. No.201 of 2024 before the Sub Court, Theni, seeking a declaration and permanent injunction, and the same is pending. The first respondent has no right to obtain an order of police protection while the civil suit is pending. Therefore, the petitioner has filed the present petition seeking to recall of the order dated 15.06.2026. 4. Heard both side and perused the materials available on record. 3/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP.MP.(MD)No.950 of 2026 5. After hearing both sides, this Court is of the view that the present Writ Miscellaneous Petition is devoid of merits. Hence, this Court is not inclined to allow the same. Accordingly, this Writ Miscellaneous Petition is dismissed. 15.07.2026 gvn 4/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP.MP.(MD)No.950 of 2026 To 1.
