On Wednesday, The Madras High Court directed the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department to issue a public notification calling upon encroachers of temple properties spread across the state to voluntarily surrender the lands within a given time frame failing which criminal proceedings and detention would be initiated against them, under the Goondas Act. The court also ordered constitution of a special cell to retrieve the encroached temple properties.
On a plea moved by the head trustee of Sri Audikesava Perumal Peyalvar Devasthanam temple, N C Sridhar, the court passed the orders. His plea was earlier suspended only to enable a transparent inquiry into the allegations of irregularities in the management of the temple and its properties. The state has further initiated action against all such complaints of irregularities.
“The committees have scrutinised 15,256 properties and have identified 20,776 encroachments. Already actions have been initiated against 8,188 encroachers covering an extent of 4,118 acres of land. Actions are about to be taken against 10,930 encroachers covering an extent of 3,526 acres of lands.” a report filed by the Advocate General said.
According to the judge, fraudulent, illegal encroachment of temple properties and mishandling of temple funds are offences that must be registered against the offenders, following prosecution by the state. “Temple properties are looted by greedy men and few professional criminals or land grabbers. Active or passive contribution/collusion by HR&CE Department officials cannot be overruled,” The Judge added.
“These lapses, negligence and dereliction of duty on the part of such public officials are also to be viewed seriously and all appropriate actions in this regard are highly warranted… Instances are many where persons entrusted with the duty of managing and safeguarding the properties of temples, deities and Devaswom Boards have usurped and misappropriated such properties by setting up false claims of ownership or tenancy, or adverse possession. Such acts of ‘fences eating the crops’ should also be dealt with sternly,” the court stated.
Moreover, the judge directed the government to constitute a special cell consisting of a team of officials with ‘integrity and devotion’ for the duty of monitoring the actions initiated for the retrieval of temple properties, funds, jewellery etc. The cell in the Headquarters would have separate phones and mobile numbers and they must be displayed in all the shrines and in the offices of the HR&CE department to report and facilitate the general public/devotees to register their complaints.

The judge also added that the DGP is supposed to provide all necessary protection to the government officials and those engaged by the HR&CE department to perform the work, as and when required.
The Madras High Court’s remarkable step to impose the Goonda Act to free temple properties from encroachers is well appreciated and acknowledged. Fraudulent and illegal encroachment and mishandling funds is a punishable offence and must be tackled seriously to avoid similar offences in the future.

Me: Beautiful.
ps:
Although in severe shock and great stress, we have faced the challenges and moved forward crossing the barriers, biases, impediments etc that came before us, … it was tough, not easy, for my wife and sons and the others also … I brought up my two sons Kaviraj and Shilpi as future presidents of usa, with that attitude/ outlook/ mindset, supporting and encouraging the leadership nature already in them. They are born in usa, grew up in usa and consider themselves as Americans. The country, the people and the whole world including India where we parents are originally from will need their leadership and contributions to go forward towards better future vision in true spirit of America. It is the nature of truth, nature of nature, nature of humanity. It is the only way. There is no other choice. Actually, we do not need a different choice. Because, it is also the best way. Perfect for America and the whole world. Nothing else can be better, however you may look at it. Best wishes. Aummmm….we are seeking suitable brides for our two sons… any help, efforts etc much appreciatedThe world is dramastage weare actors Our life is what we do OUR ACT, our daily living is our daily acting role, acting finished means life finished. WE ARE SEEKING SUITABLE BRIDES FOR OUR TWO SONS, OUR GOAL IS TO ENABLE THEM REACH FULL TRUE HIGHER POTENTIAL, FUTURE PRESIDENTS OF USA.

Me: Ravi, my assessment/ guesses below =
King of the East = Japan,
King of the North = Norway,
King of the South = Saudi Arabia,
King of the West = United Kingdom,
Others are being used and/ or helping them directly and/ or indirectly, along with their interests and ideologies, China also included. Nature of the Deep state is involved in various strong ways, including the nature of the different religions and their associated deep states, some extremely very strong… for many others, individuals also, it is just survival under whatever conditions exist for them…

it is not their (muslim’s) private property anyway, so they should not worry / have hatred towards hindus in india
(any allowance of alternate land, is out of sympathetic considerations only)..
you are forgetting the power of hindu temples, for inspiration etc, when you write like below, that it is less important.
i disagree.
in fact, everything depends on it (the recovery of the temples), we might say

WE ARE SEEKING SUITABLE BRIDES FOR OUR TWO SONS KAVIRAJ AND SHILPI, FUTURE PRESIDENTS OF USA. THE WORLD IS A DRAMA STAGE AND WE ARE ACTORS. IN THE FUTURE, THE LEADERSHIP AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF OUR SONS WILL BE NEEDED BY USA AND ITS PEOPLE, ALSO BY THE WHOLE WORLD, THAT IS EAST-WEST-NORTH-SOUTH … I WAS FIRED FROM AT&T BELL LABS IN NEW JERSEY IN 1992.. IT WAS BIG SHOCK TO US, WIFE & CHILDREN, ALSO FAMILY ON BOTH MY SIDE AND WIFE’S SIDE, INCLUDING IN INDIA, SINCE EVERYBODY EXPECTED ME TO GO HIGHER UP IN JOB. I WAS NOT EVEN GETTING INTERVIEWS FOR OTHER JOBS. LATER GOT A FEW SMALLER JOBS. MY WIFE WORKED, FROM LOW LEVEL, HARD WORK, LATER PROMOTED. FORCES BEHIND THE SCENES TRYING TO PULL US DOWN. CONNECTED WITH THE EVIL PARTS OF THE GLOBAL POWER STRUCTURE. OUR SONS WERE ALSO TARGETED AND HAD TO FACE CHALLENGES. WE HAVE FACED THEM POSITIVELY AND MOVED FORWARD. THEY ARE WORKING NOW. BOY AND GIRL HAVE TO LIKE EACH OTHER ETC THEN WE BLESS. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. BEST WISHES AUMMM…
Even though countless Temple properties have been encroached by greedy people, it took nearly 75 years after independence just to take this first step of initiating a process to identify for further legal action in Indian state called Land of Temples.
I am very glad and wholeheartedly appreciate Madras High court for this order and all Hindu religious people wants to see that this process will continue till every last piece of Temple land has been recovered successfully.
After all these lands legally belongs to Temples and Temples are the rightful owners.
