The Supreme Court will hear on August 19 a petition filed by the sevayat of Maa Chandi Devi temple in Haridwar, challenging the Uttarakhand High Court’s order directing the Badri Kedar Temple Committee to appoint a receiver.
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Uttarakhand government over a plea challenging the appointment of a receiver to manage Maa Chandi Devi Temple in Haridwar. The decision by the High Court came during a bail hearing, triggering legal objections over due process.
A Sevayat of the historic Maa Chandi Devi Temple in Haridwar has moved the Supreme Court against the High Court’s order appointing a receiver, calling it arbitrary and passed without notice or evidence. The plea argues the temple was managed efficiently by a court-appointed panel since 2012.
