Shri Ram Mandir Indore vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling that Shri Ram Mandir is a public temple, rejecting the appellant's claim of it being a private temple under the principles of Guru Parampara. The Court emphasized that the management of the temple is under the purview of the Deity, and the appellant, as a pujari, holds no proprietary rights over the temple property. The Court affirmed the dismissal of the appeal, reinforcing the government's authority to manage temple properties under relevant laws.
