The Delhi High Court has refused to grant an interim injunction to a former chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Board who alleged defamatory statements were made regarding ghee procurement for temple laddus. Justice Amit Bansal stated that ex parte ad interim injunctions are granted only in exceptional circumstances and that the defendants should have an opportunity to present their defense. The court cautioned that future publications would be subject to scrutiny. The controversy stems from claims about animal fat being used in laddus during a previous regime.
