STATE OF KERALA vs GURUVAYUR DEVASWOM MNG. COMMITTEE

The Supreme Court addressed a special leave petition challenging a Kerala High Court order regarding the sanction of Rs. 7,10,212/- for expenses incurred by Shri Raghavan, an Administrator, in conducting examinations. The Court held that the competent authority would scrutinize the expenditure as per administrative procedures, and it declined to interfere with the High Court's direction to pay Rs. 35,000/- as monetary consideration for Raghavan's exemplary work, clarifying that this should not set a precedent for future cases. The outcome affirmed the High Court's decision while allowing the petitioner to seek expungement of remarks made against him in the High Court's order.
