Advocate Pujya Suresh Kulkarni is the Legal Advisor to the Maharashtra Mandir Mahasangh and the advocate leading the legal battle in the Tuljapur Temple land scam case.
The Mahasangh has demanded the immediate registration of criminal cases against the then Deputy District Collectors, trustees and other influential persons allegedly involved.
The temple land remained protected because of the strong legal support & assistance extended by Maharashtra Mandir Mahasangh to the trustees of the Sansthan.
The committee has been set up under additional Chief Secretary, Revenue, Registration and Stamp Duty Department.
The Mahasangh agreed that the Government’s decision to suspend the draft ‘Devasthan Inam Abolition Act’ was a victory of organised Hindu strength.
Mr Sunil Ghanwat stated that the opposition would continue until the proposed draft law allowing the sale of temple inam lands is withdrawn.
The government should try to repeal this law and ensure that the land of the temple remains under the control of the temple. – Balkrishna Kavade, Chairman, Vighnahar Ganpati Devasthan Trust.
CM Devendra Fadnavis directed the administration to convene a meeting of temple trustees from across the state in the presence of the Revenue Minister.
Former trustees have alleged large-scale financial irregularities in the appointment of trustees at Trimbakeshwar.
Only if the temples remain safe, our God, country and Dharma will remain safe.
