Allahabad High Court Criticises UP Government Over Unpaid Sugriv Kila Temple Land Dues
The Allahabad High Court criticised the Uttar Pradesh government for taking possession of 1,512 square metres of Sugriv Kila temple land in Ayodhya for Ram Janmabhoomi Temple development without paying the agreed Rs 1.21 crore. The court described the state's actions as a "well orchestrated" delay, noting the state later claimed the land was government-owned and filed a suit to cancel the sale deed. The court directed the state to deposit the unpaid amount with interest, while the civil suit remains pending.
