Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the management of Shri Rikhabdevji Temple under the Rajasthan Public Trust Act, 1959, specifically Sections 52(1)(d) and 53. The Court held that the temple is a Jain temple and affirmed that its management is vested in the State of Rajasthan, rejecting claims by certain sect members to manage the temple independently. The Court emphasized the need for the State to transfer management to a committee as per the Act's provisions.
