Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 010699/2026 Thiru. Padmanaban v. TMT. A. Kavitha | Heard: 17 February 2026 The Supreme Court disposed of the Special Leave Petition challenging a High Court order that transferred temple administration to the Joint Commissioner (HRCE). The Court found prima facie evidence of encroachment and malfeasance allegations against the petitioner but directed official respondents to conduct a detailed enquiry hearing both parties within eight weeks before making a final decision on temple administration rights. The Court clarified that the High Court's observations would be prima facie in nature and hold no bearing in the subsequent proceedings.
