The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Commissioner has moved the Madras High Court complaining that the Podhu Dikshitars of the Sabanayagar (Lord Natarajar) temple at Chidambaram in Cuddalore district are carrying out unauthorised constructions inside the temple.
Justices R. Mahadevan and P.D. Audikesavalu heard the Commissioner’s petition. The Bench recorded the submission by advocate K. Harishankar, representing the secretary of the Podhu Dikshitars committee, that no illegal construction, as complained by the Commissioner, was taking place.
Counsel also gave an undertaking that even if any construction was taking place inside the temple, it would be stopped forthwith. The judges recorded the statement and adjourned further hearing of the petition filed by the Commissioner to December 6.
