SC refuses to entertain PIL against special treatment for VIPs in temples

New Indian Express  

The Supreme Court on Friday in its order refused to entertain a Public Interest Litigation seeking directions against the rising practice of allowing preferential visits to 'VIPs' in temples across India. We do not think it is a fit case to exercise jurisdiction under Article 32 of the Constitution," the top court said, after hearing a PIL filed by one, Vijay Kishor Goswami. Earlier on October 27 last year, the Supreme Court bench, led by CJI Khanna, said that it would examine the writ petition challenging the imposition of "VIP entry charges" at major temples across India. The PIL filed in the apex court, said that the practice of charging fees for expedited or preferential darshan of deities discriminated against the section of economically disadvantaged devotees, violating Article 14 and Article 21.
