INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh High Court has observed that the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams forming a committee to care for its assets
will not serve any purpose as long as the panel did not have a head.A department bench comprising Chief Justice Arup Kumar Goswami and
Praveen Kumar held the hearing on the TTD case on Monday
TTD counsel said it has made up an eight-member committee consisting of 2 retired high court judges M
Counsel likewise stated that the TTD has launched a white paper offering information of its 1,128 unmovable properties and submitted such
details on its website.However, petitioner's counsel Balaji Yelamanjula objected to the proceedings provided by TTD on December 9, 2020,
selecting the committee with eight members without discussing who its head would be, and said this was of no usage
He informed the court that the TTD mentioned Sringeri Sharada Peetham president Gowri Sankar as the given name in the committee and placed
the retired high court judges' names in 2nd and 3rd place
By doing so, TTD showed disregard to the 2 retired judges, counsel argued
The court accepted the objections raised by counsel and opined that the committee without a head would serve no function
The order of concern given to the judges flouted the standards of protocol for judges
The court also discovered an error in the procedures, specifying that K
Sreedhar Rao was the chief justice of Gauhati high court when he retired
The court published the next hearing to March 12.
