The first Division Bench of the Madras High Court has set aside an order passed by a single judge who had upheld a 2020 Government Order by which the tenure of the non-hereditary trustee of Kalikambal Kamadeswarar Temple at Thambu Chetty Street in Chennai was reduced from three to two years.
Acting Chief Justice T. Raja and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy held that the tenure of the trustee could not be reduced by invoking the provisions of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Act since the temple was covered by a Scheme Decree formulated by the High Court in a civil suit in 1935.
