Today, On 5th December, CJI Surya Kant remarked that Temple Funds Are Deity’s Property, Not Permitted for Cooperative Bank Rescue. While hearing Kerala cooperative banks’ petitions on returning Thirunelly Temple deposits, the Supreme Court questioned the challenge against the High Court order, reaffirming deity’s ownership.
The Supreme Court refused to interfere with its earlier judgment cancelling over 23,000 West Bengal SSC appointments, asking affected candidates to approach the Calcutta High Court. The Court reiterated that only untainted candidates may seek limited relief while ensuring “tainted candidates” do not re-enter the system.
