Nitin Arvind Gadge vs Ishwar Bhojrajji Ghodmare — 26/2024

SUMMARY The court rejected the plaintiff's application for temporary injunction to prevent defendants from replacing 80-year-old temple idols. The judge found the plaintiff failed to establish prima facie ownership rights, as documentary evidence showed the temple was a public structure constructed through village contributions rather than private property. The court also noted the idols were broken and unsuitable for worship according to Hindu rituals, and 92 villagers had signed a letter supporting the replacement.
