The Shri Guru Dattatreya Peetha Temple Development Committee had earlier filed a petition in the high court challenging the validity of the state government order issued on May 19, 2018, pertaining to re-codification of management and rituals.
A single-member bench of Justice P S Dinesh Kumar agreed with the arguments of the petitioner and repealed the May 19 order. It also directed the government to review the issue, without considering the report of the high-level committee.
The state government had issued the order on the basis of the recommendations of Justice H N Nagamohan Das committee’s recommendations.
