"Lord Jagannath Forgave Us, Your Gods Will Forgive You Too": SC Grants Permission To A Jain Temple Trust To Open Temples For Paryushan

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Shri Parshwatilak Shwetambar Murtipujak Jain Trust to keep Jain Temples open during the Paryushan festival to perform prayers at temples of Dadar, Bycullar & Chembur, by following the Standard Operating Procedure formulated by the authorities with respect to COVID19. The Shri Parshwatilak Shwetambar Murtipujak Jain Trust had moved the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court order wherein it was refused to allow members of the Jain community from offering prayers in temples during the holy period of Paryushan festival. Supreme Court Bench headed by CJI Bobde is hearing a matter revolving around keeping Jain temples open in the State of Maharashtra during the Paryushan period. On August 14, right before the commencement of the festival, Bombay High Court had refused to allow members of the Jain community from offering prayers in temples during the holy period of Paryushan festival, observing that the duty of every right thinking person at this stage is to balance their religious duties with public duty, and their responsibility towards the rest of mankind.
