HYDERABAD : The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday

restrained the Tirumala-Tirupati Devastanams from

releasing a sum of Rs 2.5 crore to the Vikasa

Tarangani at the instance of the state government.

 

 

The order was made by a bench comprising Chief Justice

Devender Gupta and Justice G Rohini on a public

interest writ petition filed by Giri Yadav, a resident

of the city who complained that the fund was being

released at the instance of the China Jeeyar Swami.

 

The petitioner referred to the ongoing battle between

the China Jeeyar and senior pontiff of Kanchi Sri

Jayendra Saraswathi. Senior counsel S Ramachandra Rao

dubbed the Jeeyar Swami a blackmailer.

 

He pointed out that the government had also allotted

land to the Swamji in violation of the Coastal

Regulation Zone.

 

He also complained that the trustees of the TTD had

abdicated their duty to the institution and were

acting at the instance of the China Jeeyar.
