The Andhra Pradesh Government has told the Hyderabad High Court that members of trust boards of temples in Andhra Pradesh could reapply for continuation and their right to reapply has not been taken away.
The Government put up this argument in its counter to the batch of petitions challenging the ordinance through which trust boards of all temples were terminated.
The Government maintained that the right of the trust board members to reapply was not taken away. The Government could consider the reappointment of the trust boards.
The Telugu Desam Government had earlier brought an ordinance cancelling all the temple trust boards and later brought a bill, which is awaiting the assent of Governor ESL Narasimhan.
Several petitions were filed in the High Court challenging the government decision.
