Allahabad HC adjourns hearing in ordinance on Mathura Bankey Bihari temple case
The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing over creating a government trust to control and supervise the Shri Bankey Bihari Mandir at Mathura through an ordinance, and fixed August 6 for the next hearing. When the matter was taken up before Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal, the state counsel informed that the validity of the Uttar Pradesh Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple Trust Ordinance, 2025 has been challenged before the apex court and the matter is pending. Following this, the high court adjourned the hearing and told the government counsel that it would be proper to get the Ordinance amended as it relates to the inclusion of bureaucrats in the proposed Trust. The court was of the view that by way of the Ordinance, the government wants to put control over the temple which cannot be permitted and it is in violation of Article 25 of the Constitution of India. Earlier on July 21, high court-appointed amicus curiae Sanjay Goswami questioned the competence of the state to issue the Ordinance. "The temple in question is a private temple and the religious practice is being carried out by the heirs of late Swami Hari Das Ji," he said, alleging that by issuing the Ordinance, the government is trying to take control over the temple through the back door. "Section 5 of the Ordinance provides for Appointment Constitution and Terms of the Board and Trustees. Section 5 (1)(ii) provides that there would be two kinds of trustees of the Board, namely, nominated trustees and ex-officio trustees," he said. According to Goswami, the nominated trustees are saints, seers, gurus, scholars, mathadhish and mahants from the Vaishnav tradition as well as followers of Sanatan Dharm. He took strong objections to the inclusion of seven ex-officio trustees such as the Mathura district magistrate (DM), senior superintendent of police (SSP), municipal commissioner, chief executive officer of the Uttar Pradesh Braj Teerth Vikash Parishad, an officer of UP's Religious Affairs Department and chief executive officer of Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple Trust. He contended that there is no need for the appointment of ex-officio trustees by the state government, as this would amount to a back door entry by the government in the private temple managed by the Goswamis. According to him, it is an encroachment on the rights of the Hindus by the state government entering through the back door and taking control of the Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple, as it is a private temple and followers and successors of Swami Hari Das Ji are managing the temple.

CM, ministers, MLAs to camp in Delhi from August 5 to 7 to press for assent to BC quota Bills
In view of the inordinate delay in the clearance of the Bills passed by the Legislature paving the way for implementation of 42% reservation for backward classes in education, employment and political fields, the State government has decided to request President Draupadi Murmu for speedy clearance of the two Bills, which were awaiting her assent. The State Cabinet, at its meeting here on Monday, decided that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, accompanied by his Cabinet colleagues, MLAs, MLCs and senior leaders, would camp in New Delhi for three days — August 5, 6 and 7 — to meet the President and seek her cooperation in the passage of the Bills. Minister for Transport Ponnam Prabhakar told the media on the decisions taken at the meeting of the State Cabinet here on Monday. The Cabinet held elaborate discussion on the modalities that should be adopted for ensuring the passage of the Bills and unanimously resolved to request the President for her consent to the Bills. The decision comes in the light of the deadline set by the Telangana High Court for conducting long overdue local body elections and the stoppage of Finance Commission grants to local bodies for want of elected bodies governing them. The Cabinet had also decided to press for clearance of the Ordinance seeking removal of the 50% cap on the reservations, a decision taken by the previous BRS government headed by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao through an amendment to the Panchayat Raj Act in 2018.

Prof Jagneshwar Dandapat reappointed interim VC of Utkal University under amended Ordinance
BHUBANESWAR: Prof Jagneshwar Dandapat has been reappointed as the in-charge vice-chancellor (VC) of Utkal University. The Chancellor's office on Friday issued a notification in this regard. He will continue till joining of the new vice-chancellor or until further orders. Dandapat was appointed as the in-charge V-C on May 27 this year after Sabita Acharya's extended tenure ended on May 23. However, this was challenged by a lawyer Prabir Kumar Das who filed a PIL in Orissa High Court, alleging that the appointment violated Section 6 (10) of the Odisha Universities Amendment Act, 2024. The Orissa High Court on Wednesday disposed of the PIL following the state government's decision to cancel the appointment. The re-appointment is according to the Odisha Universities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025. Section 6 (10) of the Ordinance has been amended to empower the Chancellor to appoint any person as V-C for the time being until a regular appointment is made. This also empowers the Chancellor to fix the tenure of the V-C.
