Hyderabad, June 25: A division bench comprising Justice Goda Raghuram and Justice Ramesh Ranganathan of the AP High Court on Friday ruled that except members of the identified category no one should be allowed to enter the Tirumala temple Mahadwaram.
The bench was dealing with a petition filed by Mr Bezavada Govinda Reddy seeking a direction to preserve and protect the jewellery of Lord Venkateswara.
The judges referring to news reports regarding entry of several individuals, including some industrialists and others, sought to know the criteria adopted by the TTD to allow entry through the Mahadwaram.
Mr S.R. Ashok, senior counsel, appearing on behalf of the TTD submitted that Mahadwaram entry and other privileges are given to individuals based on age-old customs and traditions. The bench directed the TTD to file an affidavit within three weeks on parameters and criteria adopted to allow Arjitha Sevas in the temple.
