The Travancore Devaswom Board has filed this DBA seeking an order to grant permission for the construction of the golden Dhwajam in Parassala Sree Mahadeva Temple, a temple under the management of the Board, by taking the gold, which is to be used for electroplating of Dhwajam, for purification at CGR Mettalloys Pvt. Ltd, Alappat Cross Road, Ravipuram, Ernakulam, and for doing electroplating work of Dhwajam by taking the Copper Paras and Gold to the 3rd respondent Smart Creations, Chennai.
2.

3.
On 01.04.2024, the learned Senior Government Pleader pointed out clauses 6 and 7 of Annexure A10 Board order dated 20.03.2024 and sought some time to get instructions. By the order dated 01.04.2024, it was ordered that an affidavit on behalf of the Travancore Devaswom Board explaining the procedure that is going to be adopted with
3 DBA No.2 of 2024 reference to clauses 6 and 7 and regarding collection money from the devotees by the 2nd respondent Temple Advisory Committee of Parassala Sree Mahadeva Temple, shall be placed on record on the next posting date, and accordingly, the matter was adjourned to 03.04.2024.
4.
On 03.04.2024, an additional affidavit dated 02.04.2024 on behalf of the Travancore Devaswom Board has been placed on record, in terms of the direction contained in the order of this Court dated 01.04.2024.
5.
On 03.04.2024, the learned Senior Government Pleader submitted that an affidavit sworn to by the 1st respondent shall be placed on record, if possible, by 04.04.2024.
Accordingly, the matter was posted to 05.04.2024.
6.
On 05.04.2024, we heard the arguments of the learned Standing Counsel for Travancore Devaswom Board and the learned Senior Government Pleader and the matter was ordered to be listed today (08.04.2024) at 10.15 a.m. for orders.
7.
Today, when this DBA is taken up for consideration, the learned Senior Government Pleader has filed an affidavit dated 05.04.2024 of the 1st respondent.
8.
During the course of the arguments, the learned Standing Counsel for Travancore Devaswom Board would point
4 DBA No.2 of 2024 out the suggestions made by the learned Ombudsman in the construction of a gold-plated flagpole in Kaduthuruthi Thaliyil Sree Mahadeva Temple, another temple under the management of the Board, which was the subject matter in DBA No.3 of 2022, which was disposed by Annexure A11 order dated 17.06.2022.
The learned Standing Counsel would also point out the explanation offered by the Board in the affidavit dated 02.04.2024.
9.
The learned Senior Government Pleader would point out the observations and suggestions in the affidavit dated 05.04.2024 of the 1st respondent. There is laxity on the part of the Travancore Devaswom Board in intimating the work to this Court well in advance, as stated in paragraphs 1 to 4 of the remarks. In violation of Annexure A6 Board order dated 28.09.2023, the Temple Advisory Committee was issued with two additional receipt books (200 leaves) for accepting gold from the devotees. The Board has to ensure the standardisation process (carat) of the entire gold received, which is being carted for melting, as per clause 6 of Annexure A10 Board order dated 20.03.2024.
10. Travancore-Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act, 1950 enacted by the State Legislature makes provision for the
5 DBA No.2 of 2024 administration, supervision and control of incorporated and unincorporated Devaswoms and of other Hindu Religious Endowments and Funds.
11. Section 15A of the Act, inserted by Act 5 of 2007, with effect from 12.04.2007, deals with duties of the Board. As per Section 15A, it shall be the duty of the Board to perform the following functions, namely, (i) to see that the regular traditional rites and ceremonies according to the practice prevalent in the religious institutions are performed promptly; (ii) to monitor whether the administrative officials and employees and also the employees connected with religious rites are functioning properly; (iii) to ensure proper maintenance and upliftment of the Hindu religious institutions; (iv) to establish and maintain proper facilities in the temples for the devotees.
12. Section 25 of the Act deals with the Devaswom fund and Section 26 deals with the Devaswom surplus fund and its administration. As per Section 31 of the Act, subject to the provisions of Part I and the rules made thereunder, the Board shall manage the properties and affairs of the Devaswoms, both incorporated, and unincorporated as heretofore, and arrange for the conduct of the daily worship and ceremonies and of the festivals in every temple according to its usage.
6 DBA No.2 of 2024 13. In Ram Mohan Das v. Travancore Devaswom Board [1975 KLT 55] a learned Single Judge of this Court held that, under Section 31 of the Travancore-Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act, the Travancore Devaswom Board shall manage the properties and affairs of the Devaswoms, both incorporated and unincorporated and arrange for the conduct of the daily worship and ceremonies and of the festivals in every temple according to its usage. The position of the Board in regard to the Devaswoms - incorporated and unincorporated - is analogous to that of trustees. Any improper act of the Trustees could be questioned by a worshipper.
14. In M.V. Ramasubbiar v. Manicka Narasimachara [(1979) 2 SCC 65], in the context of Sections 49, 51 and 52 of the Trusts Act, 1882, the Apex Court explained the nature of the fiduciary position of the trustee and his duties and obligations. It is the duty of the trustees of the property to be faithful to the Trust and execute any document with reasonable diligence in the manner of an ordinary prudent man of business would conduct his own affairs. A trustee could not, therefore, occasion any loss to the Trust and it is his duty to sell the property if at all that was necessary, to the best advantage.
7 DBA No.2 of 2024 15. In A.A. Gopalakrishnan v. Cochin Devaswom Board [(2007) 7 SCC 482] a Three-Judge Bench of the Apex Court held that the properties of deities, temples and Devaswom Boards, require to be protected and safeguarded by their trustees/archakas/shebaits/employees.
Instances are many where persons entrusted with the duty of managing and safeguarding the properties of temples, deities and Devaswom Boards have usurped and misappropriated such properties by setting up false claims of ownership or tenancy, or adverse possession. This is possible only with the passive or active collusion of the authorities concerned. Such acts of ‘fence eating the crops’ should be dealt with sternly. The Government, members or trustees of boards/trusts, and devotees should be vigilant to prevent any such usurpation or encroachment. It is also the duty of courts to protect and safeguard the properties of religious and charitable institutions from wrongful claims or misappropriation.
16.
The suggestions made by the learned Ombudsman in the construction of a gold-plated flagpole in Kaduthuruthi Thaliyil Sree Mahadeva Temple, another temple under the management of the Board, which are quoted at paragraph 2 of Annexure A11 order dated 17.06.2022 in DBA No.3 of 2022, read thus;
8 DBA No.2 of 2024 “i) All the Copper Paras shall be transported to the work site by the Temple Advisory Committee and the Travancore Devaswom Board. The expenditure involved shall be met by the Temple Advisory Committee.
ii) Proper agreement shall be executed before commencing the work. A draft agreement is already produced and after obtaining legal scrutiny, it is for the Travancore Devaswom Board and the Temple Advisory Committee to make suggestions, if any, required or accepting the same, as the case may be.
iii) The warranty issued should be in favour of the Travancore Devaswom Board as also the Temple Advisory Committee who expends the amount.
iv) After the cleaning process of the Copper Paras, the same shall be weighed before actual electro plating with gold and each Paras shall be weighed after the electro plating process and recorded. The process of lacquer coating shall be done only after weighing the golden electro plated Paras, so that the actual quantity of gold deposited in the Paras will be available as per the records maintained.
v) The electro plated gold Paras shall be transported at the risk and cost of the agency undertaking the electro plating work and shall be delivered at site. Thereafter the Paras shall be kept in safe custody by the Travancore Devaswom Board and the Thiruvabharanam Commissioner is authorised to take all necessary measures in this regard.
The Golden Paras shall be kept in strong room and there shall be security arrangements made until the installation process is over.
vi) The Thiruvabharanam Commissioner shall supervise the
9 DBA No.2 of 2024 entire process and necessary permission shall be granted to him by the Travancore Devaswom Board in this regard.
vii) The entire process shall be videographed and a copy shall be delivered to both the Travancore Devaswom Board and the Temple Advisory Committee.
viii) Since the gold obtained by the Temple Advisory Committee from the devotees may differ in quality, the same has to be converted to the required standard from a reputed jewellery. Additional quantity required can be purchased by the Temple Advisory Committee and shall be delivered to the Smart Creations, who shall acknowledge the same in writing. The entire cost will be met by the Temple Advisory Committee.
ix) A report shall be filed by the Board on completion of the installation.
x) Any other term as may be imposed by the Hon'ble High Court.”
17. In the affidavit dated 02.04.2024 filed on behalf of the Travancore Devaswom Board, the stand taken by the Board is that the Board, vide Annexure A6 proceedings, permitted the Temple Advisory Committee to receive the gold items as offerings for the construction of Golden Dhwajam, against sealed material receipts issued in this regard. The gold received as offerings from the devotees for the construction of Golden Dhwajam is of different cartage. The gold plating of Dhwajam is done using 999.9 fineness 24 carat gold. The gold items received as offerings have to be purified to 999.9 fineness 24 carat gold
10 DBA No.2 of 2024 for entrusting the same to 3rd respondent Smart Creations for gold plating process. The Board, vide Annexure 10 order, decided to entrust the purification work of gold at CGR Metalloys Pvt. Ltd, Alappat Cross Road, Ravipuram, Ernakulam, an institution accredited by NABL for the purification of gold, after obtaining permission from this Court. On enquiry with the accredited agency, it is understood that the purification process is done during the night and it will take one night for the process. The weight of the gold received as offerings from the devotees will be recorded initially. Thereafter, the above gold will be melted and its weight and cartage before and after the purification process will be examined and recorded by the accredited agency. As per clause 11 of Annexure A10 order, the Board authorised Thiruvabharanam Commissioner, Superintendent of Police (Vigilance & Security), Travancore Devaswom Board, Executive Engineer, Thiruvananthapuram, Deputy Devaswom Commissioner, Thiruvananthapuram, Assistant Devaswom Commissioner, Neyyattinkara, Assistant Engineer, Neyyattinkara and Sub Group Officer, Parassala Sree Mahadeva Temple to take the gold for purification and for recording its weight and cartage before and after purification.
The accredited agency will issue a certificate recording the above
11 DBA No.2 of 2024 particulars. After purification of the gold received as offerings to the required cartage and noting its weight as above, if further gold is necessary as per the estimate, such gold shall be purchased at the expense of the Temple Advisory Committee, using the fund collected through sealed coupons issued by the Board. The above purchase will be made by the Temple Advisory Committee in the presence of departmental officials, ensuring its purity, weight and price on the date of purchase and against GST bill. All the above procedures in connection with the purification, purchase and electroplating purpose will be recorded in mahazar and signed by the departmental officials and the Temple Advisory Committee representatives. The Superintendent of Police (Vigilance & Security), Travancore Devaswom Board is authorised to ensure sufficient security arrangements for transporting the gold for the purification and electroplating process. The process of plating gold over the copper paras by the 3rd respondent will take approximately 8 days and the to and fro transportation will take two days. The gold-plated paras will be kept in the strong room of the Board at an appropriate place with sufficient security till its installation.
18. In the affidavit dated 02.04.2024 filed on behalf of the Travancore Devaswom Board, it is stated that pursuant to
12 DBA No.2 of 2024 Annexure A5 order, sealed coupons for 70% of the estimate amount, i.e., for Rs.71,50,000/- and material receipts for receiving gold items were issued to the Temple Advisory Committee in a phased manner. The Temple Advisory Committee has so far collected Rs.51,52,850/- and 1425.130 grams of gold (against 587 receipts) from the devotees as per the report of the Sub Group Officer of the temple. The auspicious date for Dhwaja Prathishta is fixed by the Tantri on 26.04.2024, considering the fact that if prathishta is not done during this Utharayanam, the same could be made only during the next Utharayanam, i.e., after one year.
19. In the affidavit dated 05.04.2024 of the 1st respondent, it is pointed out that there is laxity on the part of the Travancore Devaswom Board to intimate the work to this Court well in advance, as stated in paragraphs 1 to 4 of the remarks. Hence proper explanation has to be sought from the Board for the laxity caused. Regarding remark 5, a proper explanation may be sought from the Board, for violating the ROC concerned and issuing two additional receipt books (200 leaves) for accepting gold from the devotees. Regarding remark 6, the Board may be directed to ensure the standardisation process (carat) of the entire gold received as per the ROC 8712/22/M
13 DBA No.2 of 2024 dated 20.03.2024, vide clause 6 being carted for melting, to avoid controversies in future, if any, regarding the purity of gold received. Regarding remark 7, the Board may be directed to submit the details of the transportation of gold from the place where it is kept to the place where the melting process is to be conducted. If they intend to transport it back to Trivandrum Head Office, before entrusting the same to the agency that is conducting the electroplating process, the details of security provided to the transportation may also be explained. Regarding remark 8, the Board may be directed to include both processes of Lacquering in the agreement, as stated in the affidavit concerned (Para 10), unless it may affect the weighing process of the gold-plated "paras". Regarding remark 9, there is no saving clause for recovery in the draft agreement, if there occurs total damage during the execution of work. Hence, the Board may be directed to include the provisions of the G.O.(P)No.83/2023/RD dated 17.03.2023 to recover the damages from the party concerned with a clause that the jurisdiction of such cases shall be within Thiruvananthapuram District.
20. In the affidavit dated 05.04.2024 of the 1st respondent, the following suggestions have also been made;
14 DBA No.2 of 2024 “1. The Board may be directed to ensure that the construction work of Golden Dwajam at Parassala Devaswom is being carried out in accordance with the decisions made in clauses 1 to 12 of Annexure A10 order 20.03.2024 [Annexure R1(h)], on due consideration of the directions from this Court in that regard.
2. It is desirable to consider Annexure R1(g) Charthu dated 13.03.2024 given by Temple Thantri, suggesting 13th Medam 1199 M.E (26.04.2024) morning 08.41 a.m. to 09.21 a.m. as an auspicious time for the Dhwaja Prathishta as it is essential to consider the ritualistic importance and spiritualistic fervour of devotees as well.
3. A tripartite agreement has to be executed with Thiruvabharanam Commissioner, Secretary, Parassala Devaswom Temple Advisory Committee and the proprietor of Smart Creations, Chennai as its parties, including all necessary clauses as indicated in the draft tripartite agreement produced as Annexure R1(i), after necessary corrections, as indicated in the remarks of the 1st respondent, before the commencement of gold plating works on Golden Dwajam at Parassala Devaswom.
4. In the DBA, it is stated that the Devaswom Commissioner is authorised to direct the Temple Advisory Committee of Parassala Devaswom to produce audited accounts within a period of one month on completion of work of Golden Dwajam (clause 10 of Annexure A10 order 20.03.2024). Hence, the Board may be directed to take timely and necessary steps in this regard.
5. The audit of accounts in terms of revenue and expenditure incurred on the construction work of the Golden flagpole at Parassala Devaswom will duly be carried
15 DBA No.2 of 2024 out by Kerala State Audit Department along with the audit at Parassala Devaswom.”
21. Having considered the pleadings and materials on record and also the submissions made by the learned Standing Counsel for the Travancore Devaswom Board and the learned Senior Government Pleader for the 1st respondent Deputy Examiner of Local Fund Audit, Travancore Devaswom Audit, we notice that, as stated in the affidavit filed by the 1st respondent, there is laxity on the part of the Travancore Devaswom Board to intimate the work to this Court well in advance, for which the Board has not offered any explanation whatsoever, other than the submission that he was instructed to file this DBA seeking permission for the construction of Golden Dwajam in Parassala Sree Mahadeva Temple, based on Annexure A10 Board order dated 20.03.2024. Such an order was issued after obtaining Annexure R1(g) Charthu dated 13.03.2024 given by Temple Thantri, suggesting 26.04.2024 (13th Medam 1199 M.E.)
morning 08.41 a.m. to 09.21 a.m. as an auspicious time for the Dhwaja Prathishta. The total estimate for the work is more than Rs.1 Crore, as evident from Annexure A5 order dated 15.07.2023.
22. The procedure that has to be followed for the
16 DBA No.2 of 2024 commencement and completion of Maramath by the Travancore Devaswom Board is laid down by various orders of this Court.
We notice that, the requirement of the Board to file a Maramath Petition seeking permission from this Court for awarding the work when the estimated cost is Rs.20 Lakhs and above is not followed in a case in which the work is awarded to the Temple Advisory Committee constituted under Section 31A of the Act and that Committee is granted permission to raise funds by way of contributions from the devotees. Similarly, the requirement of filing Maramath Petition is not followed in a case in which the work is undertaken by the amount offered by a devotee by way of sponsorship. Instead, in such cases, a petition like the present DBA is being filed by the Travancore Devaswom Board, as done in the case of the construction of a gold-plated flagpole in Kaduthuruthi Thaliyil Sree Mahadeva Temple, another temple under the management of the Board, which was the subject matter in DBA No.3 of 2022, which was disposed of by Annexure A11 order dated 17.06.2022. We strongly deprecate the practice being followed by the Travancore Devaswom Board in filing applications like the present DBA, seeking permission for the construction of the golden Dhwajam in Parassala Sree Mahadeva Temple, a temple under the management of the Board, for a
17 DBA No.2 of 2024 total estimate of more than Rs.1 Crore, after fixing an auspicious time for the Dhwaja Prathishta.
23. In the above circumstances, we deem it appropriate to dispose of this DBA by making it clear that it would be open to the Travancore Devaswom Board to proceed with the construction of the golden Dhwajam in Parassala Sree Mahadeva Temple, subject to the remarks of the 1st respondent Deputy Examiner for Local Fund Audit, strictly in terms of the procedure contemplated in clauses 1 to 11 of Annexure A10 order dated 20.03.2024, after executing a tripartite agreement between Thiruvabharanam Commissioner, the Secretary of the Temple Advisory Committee of Parassala Devaswom and the proprietor of Smart Creations, Chennai, including all necessary clauses as indicated in the draft tripartite agreement produced as Annexure R1(i) along with the affidavit filed by the 1st respondent, after necessary corrections, as indicated in the remarks of the 1st respondent, before the commencement of gold plating works of the Golden Dwajam in Parassala Devaswom. The entire exercise of the preparation of mahazar, transportation, purification, electro-plating process and installation of the Golden Dwajam shall be under the direct supervision of Thiruvabharanam Commissioner, Superintendent of Police (Vigilance & Security),
18 DBA No.2 of 2024 Travancore Devaswom Board, an officer authorised by the 1st respondent Deputy Examiner for Local Fund Audit, Executive Engineer, Thiruvananthapuram, Deputy Devaswom Commissioner, Thiruvananthapuram, Assistant Devaswom Commissioner, Neyyattinkara, Assistant Engineer, Neyyattinkara and Sub Group Officer, Parassala Devaswom and the Secretary of the Temple Advisory Committee. The entire process shall be videographed by the Travancore Devaswom Board and a copy of the video shall be given to the 1st respondent Deputy Examiner for Local Fund Audit and the Secretary of the Temple Advisory Committee.
24. The audited accounts of the installation of the Golden Dwajam in Parassala Devaswom shall be submitted by the Temple Advisory Committee before the Assistant Devaswom Commissioner, within one month from the date of installation of the Golden Dwajam, which shall be subjected to internal audit by the Internal Audit Wing of the Travancore Devaswom Board.
Thereafter, the audit of accounts in terms of revenue and expenditure incurred on the construction work of the Golden Dwajam in Parassala Devaswom shall be subjected to audit by the Kerala State Audit Department, Travancore Devaswom Board Audit.
19 DBA No.2 of 2024 25. As already noticed hereinbefore, the procedure that has to be followed for the commencement and completion of Maramath by the Travancore Devaswom Board, as laid down by various orders of this Court, is not followed in a case in which the work is awarded to the Temple Advisory Committee constituted under Section 31A of the Act and that Committee is granted permission to raise funds by way of contributions from the devotees. Similarly, the requirement of filing Maramath Petition is not followed in a case in which the work is undertaken by the amount offered by a devotee by way of sponsorship. In such matters, applications are being filed by the Travancore Devaswom Board seeking permission for the construction of the Golden Dhwajam in a temple under its management, after fixing an auspicious time for the Dhwaja Prathishta. In the instant case, the total estimate is more than Rs.1 Crore.
In the above circumstances, we deem it appropriate to direct the 1st respondent Deputy Examiner for Local Fund Audit to file a detailed report on the procedure to be followed while undertaking Maramath works in the Devaswoms under the management of Travancore Devaswom Board, when the Temple Advisory Committee is granted permission to undertake the work after raising funds by way of contributions from the devotees or
20 DBA No.2 of 2024 when the work is undertaken by the amount offered by a devotee, by way of sponsorship. The report of the 1st respondent Deputy Examiner shall be numbered as DBAR and listed before the Devaswom Bench, immediately after summer vacation.
