The Supreme Court has stayed the Bombay High Court order restoring control of the Shani Shingnapur temple trust and appointed the Nashik divisional commissioner as administrator. The move comes amid concerns over mismanagement, expiring tenure of trustees, and handling of crores in devotees’ offerings.
The Supreme Court has stayed the Uttar Pradesh government’s ordinance giving it control over Vrindavan’s Banke Bihari temple and formed a 12-member panel headed by retired Justice Ashok Kumar to manage its affairs. The move aims to end years of mismanagement and provide better facilities for devotees.
