Should temples continue to be under government, asks HC while quashing FIR against activist
On Friday, the Madurai Bench of Madras HC quashed two defamation cases against devotee, activist Rangarajan Narasimhan who had alleged mismanagement by officials managing Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple and questioned the condition of thousands of temples that are facing negligence. Narasimhan had pointed out mismanagement at Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple and exposed several wrongdoings of the commissioner of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department and the Ex-chairman of the Board of Trustees of the temple over social media. Drawing attention to the condition of Hindu temples in the state, Justice GR Swaminathan said that the government who professes to be secular should treat all religious institutions at par. According to the reports, two cases against Narasimhan were filed- one under 505 of the Indian Penal Code and another under section 45 of the Information Technology Act after he alleged the temple authorities of mismanagement.
