Decision reserved on the petition of Sri Padmanabha Swamy Temple Trust, the petition has been filed for exemption from the audit.
The Supreme Court has reserved its decision on Friday after hearing the petition of Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple Trust.
The trust has applied against the order of the top court. The court had last year ordered an audit of 25 years of income and expenditure of the trust.
Justice UU Lalit, Justice S. A bench of Ravindra Bhat and Justice Bela Trivedi reserved the decision after hearing the arguments of both sides.
The trust was formed by the then Travancore royal family to manage the daily affairs of the temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
The top court had also constituted an administrative committee for the temple last year.
According to news agency Pretr, advocate R Basant, appearing for the same administrative committee, said that the financial condition of the temple is not good.
Monthly expenditure is 1.25 crores and income is only 60-70 lakhs. So the trust should help in meeting the expenses.
The trust’s lawyer Arvind Datar said that the public trust formed by the royal family has nothing to do with the administrative matters of the temple.
The trust was formed to oversee the worship and religious rituals associated with the royal family.
