Hyderabad, July 16 :The High Court on Friday said it was concerned with the protection of the Venkat-eswaraswamy temple at Tirumala as an institution and not only with religious practices.
The bench comprising Justice B. Prakasha Rao and Justice R. Kantha Rao was hearing a petition filed against the TTD’s gold plating project. Mr D.V. Seetharam Murthy, advocate general, arguing on behalf of the TTD’s executive officer, contended that it can not be claimed that every religious belief has to be protected and said that gold plating has been taken up for more beautification.
Reacting to the arguments, Justice Prakasha Rao reminded that the court was not looking at religious practices alone but the protection of the temple as an institution.
