The Supreme Court has made it clear that existing religious practices at the Bankey Bihari Temple will continue without any changes for now. The Court deferred the hearing, signalling a cautious approach amid the ongoing dispute over temple management and traditions.
The Supreme Court criticized the Uttar Pradesh government for interfering in a private dispute over the management of the Shri Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan. The Court warned such interference undermines the rule of law, emphasizing the government should not involve itself in private legal matters. The Court firmly rejected the government’s attempts to hijack the case.
