Supreme Court issues notice to Tamil Nadu on Hindu Dharma Parishad’s plea to have Trustee Committees headed by retired judge for temples

As per Section 47(1)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, every board of trustees constituted under clause (a) or clause (b) of the Act shall consist of not less than three and not more than five persons, of whom one shall be a member of the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes and another one shall be a woman.

“As already there is a statutory provision, as has been demanded by the petitioner, there is nothing for adjudication in this writ petition and for issuing suitable directions,” the Madras High Court had said while rejecting the plea.
