SC questions UP government’s “Clandestine” move on Bankey Bihari Temple, proposes interim oversight by retired Judge

New Delhi, Aug 4 (UNI) The Supreme Court today came down heavily on the Uttar Pradesh Government for the "tearing hurry" in which it promulgated the Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple Trust Ordinance, 2025, to take over the management of the historic Bankey Bihari temple in Vrindavan.
The Court also strongly criticised the manner in which the State secured directions from the Supreme Court through a May 15 judgment to use temple funds for a corridor development project without hearing the temple’s traditional management or affected parties.
A Bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi expressed concern that the May 15 ruling, which allowed the use of temple funds for acquiring land and development work, was passed in a civil dispute concerning a different temple, with no representation from the Bankey Bihari temple.
