Kerala HC Orders Records Seizure in Sabarimala Idol Case

Kerala HC Orders Records Seizure in Sabarimala Idol Case

The Kerala High Court is looking into the gold plating on some statues at the Sabarimala temple.

The court has ordered the seizure of documents related to this gold plating, particularly on the Dwarapalaka idols.

The court is concerned because the TDB removed gold-plated sheets for repair without permission.

The TDB sent these items to Chennai without informing the Special Commissioner, which the court found problematic.

The court has also involved the devotee who sponsored the work, and the Chennai company doing the repairs.

The court wants to ensure proper procedures were followed and is now investigating the matter further.
