I am in complete agreement with the above order passed by Hon’ble Mr.Justice B.Pugalendhi. The term “Vaishnavite” has a larger connotation and it should never be identified with reference to a particular community. As rightly held, all those, who worship Lord Perumal are Vaishavites and there cannot be any discrimination based on community. Therefore, the insistence of the petitioner that only a Hindu Vaishnavite Brahmin should be permitted to participate in the auction virtually tantamounts to perpetuating caste system, which does not auger well for a true vaishnavite. As has been observed supra, there is going to be no compromise to the ritual practices/agamas and also the experience in preparing prasadham in vaishnavite temple earlier for five years. If that is ensured, it does not really matter as to whether the participant belongs to a brahmin community. 13. In the light of the above discussion, this Court does not find any ground to interfere with the relevant clause contained in the auction notice and the respondent can proceed further with the auction and finalize the same in favour of the highest bidder. In the result, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. 12.08.2025 Neutral Citation: Yes Index: Yes Speaking Order gm N.ANAND VENKATESH, J gm To The Executive Officer/Assistant Commissioner, Arulmigu Devarajaswamy Thirukovil, Little Kancheepuram.
