Firstly, to decide as to whether the temple in question is an ancient monument, it is for the appropriate authority under the Act to consider whether it satisfies the various criteria mandated under the act. Secondly, the Central Government is not even a party in this writ petition. Thirdly, considering the submissions made by the learned Advocate General that the renovation work will be done to the heritage structure by consulting the appropriate experts of the Heritage Committee and when the Government has already sanctioned funds to renovate the Temple, at this juncture, the prayer of the petitioner would only impede the imminent necessity of restoring the Temple. We see from the photographs produced by the petitioner himself that the structures of the Temple require immediate attention and commencement of the work. Under these circumstances, when the Archaeological Survey of India considering its own constraints, have not taken over the Temple, at this juncture, we do not deem it appropriate to entrust the Temple to the Archaeological Survey of India in exercise of powers under the Article 226 of the Constitution of India in this public interest litigation. Accordingly, the Writ Petition shall stand dismissed. There shall be no orders as to costs and the connected miscellaneous petitions shall stand closed. (T.R.,A.C.J.) (D.B.C, J.)
