Government employees in Tamil Nadu should be employed to manage schools and hospitals rather than being asked to run temples, the Supreme Court said on Friday.
The oral observation from a Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud came in a plea filed by T.R. Ramesh pointing out that 46,000 temples were administered by the State under the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959.
The court issued notice to the Tamil Nadu government and sought a response.
