Balanced News: HC Judge Visits Chennai Temple as Commoner, Prevented from Filing Corruption Complaint

Madras High Court judge Justice S.M. Subramaniam has found financial irregularities at the Vadapalani Dhandayudhapani Temple in Chennai and sought action by the Commissioner of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR & CE) Department. The judge didn’t want to have a VIP dharshan and purchased special dharshan tickets at the temple as common man. Justice Subramaniam, in his complaint to the commissioner, said he asked for three special dharshan tickets costing Rs 50 each but the staff gave him only two Rs 50 tickets and one Rs 5 ticket, despite taking Rs 150 from him.
