FREE HINDU TEMPLES FROM GOVT CONTROL DR SUBRMANYAM SWAMI

To the best of my knowledge only the Hindu temples are cont by the Govt.Not sure about Churches,Mosques and Gurudwaras.And that could be because of funds involved and the possibility of them being mismanaged .Its a different matter that the Govt is no better and misuses these funds.The Vaishno Devi is a classic case where things improved drastically, once the then Governor Jagmohan took over the adm of the shrine.So if the intend is there,then it could be a sensible thing to do so,but often that is not the case. Ms. J. Jayalalitha, Chef Minister of Tamil Nadu, Fort St. George, Chennai. (TN) Dear Ms. Jayalalitha, I write this letter to draw your attention to the judgment in the Civil Appeal No. 10620 of 2013 in which Appeal I was the Appellant and your Government was the Respondent. The judgment was delivered in my favour on January 6th, 2014 by a Division Bench. It sets aside the High Court judgment of the Single Judge as well as the Division Bench which were in favour of the Tamil Nadu Government. With this letter I am enclosing an extract of the said judgment, viz., paragraphs 46 to 50 which is of importance for the future. A close reading of the said paragraphs clearly brings out that any take over of a temple administration by the Government, by an Order of appointment of an Executive Officer, which Order does not disclose the period of validity of the order, is arbitrary, illegal and unjust. Therefore the said Order is liable to be quashed by the Court. Hence I seek your co-operation for de-notifying of all the forty-seven thousand temples which are presently under your Government control, and illegal. In my capacity as Convener of the Legal Cell of the Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha (led by Swami Dayananda Saraswati of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, Coimbatore) I can assist the Government for orderly freeing of the temples at the earliest in a phased manner. I know that you are a devout Hindu and would therefore appreciate that in the larger interest of the Hindus in the State of Tamil Nadu, and to set an example to the rest of the country, you will read this letter sympathetically and help to rectify the monstrous discrimination against the Hindu temples that has been practiced in the State in the last 90 years. I hope that it will not be necessary for any further litigation in this matter. Yours sincerely, ( SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY
