Supreme Court Directs Tamil Nadu To File Status Report On Appointment of Trustee Committees For Temples
The Supreme Court on Monday directed the State of Tamil Nadu to file a report before the court within four weeks time pointing out the status of appointment of trustee committees for the temples in the state as per the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959. Just for us to know that you’re on track and your track is a fast track.” Gupta replied, “There is an assurance in our counter that we expect to complete the process in 6 months.” Justice Kohli again inquired, “What did you do in last one year?” Gupta replied, “We put into place the district and the central committees.” Justice Kohli then remarked, “You took one year to do that? Committees are already in place.” The Court then ordered, “List after four weeks to enable the respondents to bring on record information with regard to the number of temples where the process has been fully completed, the number of temples in which the process is underway, and also a list of temples for which the respondent may take some extra time to complete the process.” Hindu Dharma Parishad, the petitioners in the SLP, had argued before the High Court that several Hindu Temples in Tamil Nadu were not maintained well and they were destroyed. The High Court bench of Justices Pushpa Sathyanarayana and P Velmurugan taking into consideration that there was a statutory provision under Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959 had dismissed the writ petition.
