                            ORDER

~~~~~~ Ravikumar, J.

As per the order dated 27.11.2018 in SSCR No.22/2018 and connected matters, a Team of Observers consisting of two former Judges of this Court, namely Justice P.R.Raman and Justice S.Siri Jagan, and Mr.A.Hemachandran, IPS, DGP, was appointed. Pursuant to the order, they visited Sabarimala, particularly Nilakkal, Pamba and Sannidanam, and taking into account the purpose for which they were appointed, submitted various reports and based on such reports, appropriate orders were also issued by the Court. The order dated 27.11.2018 itself would reveal that the appointment of the said Team of Observers was for the 'Mandalam Makaravilakku' season of the year 2018-19. Since the very appointment of the Team was only till the conclusion of the said season, we are of the view that the aforesaid SSCRs could be closed recording the aforesaid aspects and expiry of the term of appointment of SSCR.Nos. 22 & 23 of 2018 5 the said Team of Observers. At the same time, we are of the view that it is proper and befitting to record our deep appreciation of the commendable work done by the Team of Observers during the last 'Mandalam Makaravilakku' season.

Recording the same, SSCR Nos.22 and 23 of 2018 are closed.
