How Temple Funds should be used?
The petitioner argued that the Kabaliswarar temple in Kolathur has no property and that a college is being constructed there hurriedly due to the Chief Minister's constituency, despite the fact that there are no trustees in over 20,000 temples. The case was heard by Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee of the chennai High court and Adigesavalu session.
The petitioner then pointed out that permission should only be granted after gathering objections through the publication of an advertisement on the opening of colleges, and that permission had been granted to start colleges without any application from the temple administration.
The attorney general stated that the trustees will be selected in two or three weeks and that they would not have been there for the previous 11 years and that they would be given a chance to react to the case. He also stated that eight colleges and one college will be established in Kolathur.
The judges who interfered during the hearing urged that temple finances be used in accordance with the law and that universities be established in accordance with the law. Furthermore, after hearing both parties' arguments, the judges ordered that the four institutions' operations, which were started without following basic processes, be bound by the case's final ruling.
