Madras HC Orders Reopening Of Temple In Villupuram Sealed Over Caste Conflicts, Asks Govt To Act In Case Of Law & Order Problems

Live Law  

The Madras High Court has ordered reopening of a temple in Villupuram which was sealed in 2023 following caste related conflicts. The temple was sealed by the Revenue Divisional Officer in June 7, 2023 following a dispute over the entry of Scheduled Caste members into the temple. Though a plea was initially filed to reopen the temple, the court refused to entertain the same and asked the parties to approach the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Department. Though the Collector raised apprehensions about reopening the temple and said that the same may result in law and order problem, the court had allowed daily pooja to be conducted and added that the same would not affect the right of respective parties and the rights of existing poojaris, who used to conduct pooja in the temple.
