Nirmohi Akhara Seeks Supreme Court Review of Ram Janmabhoomi Trust Structure and Practices
The Nirmohi Akhara has petitioned the Supreme Court seeking the reconstitution of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which manages the Ayodhya Ram Temple. The Akhara alleges the current Trust lacks accountability and deviates from the 2019 Supreme Court verdict by functioning as a private body. It requests a forensic audit of financial transactions, restoration of original idols, and that temple rituals follow Ramanandi Sampradaya traditions. The plea follows allegations of donation embezzlement and calls for an independent panel to review the Trust's compliance with the 2019 judgment.
