The State of Uttar Pradesh has told the Supreme Court that the chargesheet in the Ayodhya Ram temple donation case will be filed within two days, ahead of the September 25 expiry of the 90-day period from the first arrest, beyond which the accused would become entitled to default bail. A Bench led by CJI Surya Kant, hearing petitions seeking an independent probe, perused the SIT’s status report.
On 1st March, The Delhi High Court upheld the CBDT’s right to withhold tax information of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust under the RTI Act, citing Section 138(1)(b). This decision follows a similar judgment on PM Cares Fund exemptions. An appeal is scheduled for July 10, following the stay granted in January 2023.
