The case filed on behalf of the Rama Samajam against this was dismissed in 2014 by a separate judge V.M. Velumani had ordered.
The appeal filed on behalf of Shri Ram Samaj against the order came up for hearing again today before a bench comprising Chief Justice Munishwarnath Bandari and Justice Bharat Chakraborty.
At the time, a senior advocate appearing on behalf of the Shriram Samaj dismissed the case on the ground that no reply had been filed on behalf of the Government in the case against the Government’s order regarding the change of management of the Ayodhya Hall. Further, he noted that this order has been issued without any reason.
The Attorney General, appearing for the Tamil Nadu government, said that no action had been taken against the school of Sri Ram Samaj and that the government had issued the order on the ground that religious activities had taken place.
He said the organization, which had collected funds in several categories, had not disclosed the revenue details to the authorities and could appeal against the order to the authorities at any time.
The then Chief Justice intervened, saying that there was an alternative solution and that the case, which had been pending for many years, could not be dismissed and the government could not interfere in the affairs of the private body, the Shriram Samaj.
The Chief Justice said that after issuing the interim order in 2014, it could not be said that an alternative solution could be found 8 years later, adding that no details were given in the notice sent to explain the allegations.
