Former CJI DY Chandrachud responded to the bungalow controversy saying their packing is done and they’ll shift the next day the house is ready. He said the allotted home needs major repairs, which caused the delay.
The Kerala High Court Today (Dec 12) termed as “very very serious” the “VIP darshan” provided to actor Dileep at the Lord Ayyappa shrine in Sabarimala recently and said that it resulted in pilgrims being “virtually blocked” from getting darshan of the deity for several minutes. A bench of Justices Anil K Narendra and Muralee Krishna S said it was “not a question of two minutes” when the first two rows in front of the ‘Sopanam’ were “choked” for several minutes to allow the actor to get darshan.
The Kerala High Court criticized the Travancore Devaswom Board and state police for granting VIP treatment to actor Dileep during his visit to Sabarimala, questioning the privileges he received at the expense of other devotees. The court directed measures for equitable access to darshan for all, especially vulnerable individuals, during the festival.
