SUBRAMANIASWAMY TEMPLE, RATNAGIRI vs V. KANNA GOUNDAR(DEAD) BY LRS.

The Supreme Court upheld the classification of land as 'Sri Subramanya Swamy Temple Poramboke' under the Government Order No. 3333, which allows the temple to lease out excess lands for revenue generation, subject to conditions. The Court affirmed the temple's right to possess and transfer the land, emphasizing that such classification does not negate the government's control. The Court ruled in favor of the temple, allowing it to evict the respondent who encroached upon the land, thereby reinforcing the possessory rights of the temple as per the relevant statutes.
