The petitioner’s counsel Y Balaji appealed to the court that the board members have been appointed against the Endowment Act, which will cause inconvenience to the common devotees.
Advocate General Sriram argued that there was no violation of rules and only protocol would be given to the members of the board in darshan. The High Court, after hearing the arguments of both the sides, issued orders suspending the appointment of the special invitees.
Endowments Minister Vellampalli Srinivas said the decision to appeal to the High Court would be taken after examining the orders of the High Court.
