Top suggestions for The Allahabad High our today refused to entertain a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) plea seeking a CBI probe into the Ram Mandir donation row, noting a similar plea with similar prayers has already been filed before the Supreme Court. A bench of Justice Rajan Roy and Justice Manjive Shukla was hearing the petition filed by practising Advocate Mohit Ashok, seeking an independent, credible, and time-bound investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged "embezzlement of donation funds" (including monetary, gold, and silver) at the temple. It also sought a comprehensive "special forensic audit" of the accounts of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG). Relying on a news report published by the national daily Dainik Jagran (on June 8), the PIL plea stated that money deposited by devotees into the donation boxes (daan-patra) at the Temple has been embezzled by certain employees of the Trust. |
