Madurai Bench of Madras High Court ne Tamil Nadu ke Thoothukudi district ke Tiruchendur mein famous Sri Subramaniya Swamy Temple ke timings badalne ke dispute mein dakhil hui yachika par dimaag lagaya hai. Court ne Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department ko yeh decide karne ka order diya hai ki temple ke timings badalne ke application par kya faisla lena hai.
Yeh petition Tiruchendur ke Sri Subramaniya Swamy Thirukovil Sudhanthira Paribalana Sthalatharkal Sabha ne file ki thi, jo temple ke management ko represent karti hai. Petitioner ke vakil ne kaha ki temple ke opening timings devotees ki badhti hui sankhya ke hisaab se nahi badle ja sakte. Unka argument tha ki temple Agamas (ancient scriptures) se bandha hai, jo temple ke practices ko regulate karte hain. Unka yeh bhi kahna tha ki 'Nadai Sathuthal' aur 'Nadai Thirathal' jaise practices ko inhi Agamas ke hisaab se hi karna chahiye. Vakil ne yeh bhi kaha ki Vidhayahar (experts in Agamas) bhi hain jo is matter mein authority rakhte hain, lekin Executive Officer ne unse consultation kiye bina hi timings badla di.
