Set right TTD affairs

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad,Aug 28 : Three separate petitions were filed at the AP High Court on Friday seeking to set right the affairs of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.

Professor D. Manohar Rao, retired professor of Genetics department of Osmania University and three others filed the petitions urging the court to dissolve the existing Board and constitute a new board under Section 96 of the Act 30 of 1987.

The petitioners also asked the court to declare all the decisions taken by the TTD Board from 1991, other than policy matters, as invalid and ultra vires.

They requested the court to appoint a committee comprising experts to ensure that the interests of the Lord Venkateswara temple and its properties are protected.
