Keep lawyers, 'outsiders' away from management of temples: Allahabad HC
PRAYAGRAJ (UP): The Allahabad High Court has called for advocates and people from district administration to be kept away from the management and control of temples, saying people from religious fraternity should be given charge.
The court made the remarks during the hearing of a contempt application concerning the appointment of a 'Receiver' in a temple-related dispute filed by Devendra Kumar Sharma and another petitioner from Mathura district.
"Now, the time has come when all these temples should be freed from the clutches of practising advocates of Mathura court, and courts should make every endeavour to appoint, if necessary, a 'Receiver', who is connected with the management of a temple and has some religious leaning towards the deity," Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal observed while disposing of the contempt petition.
