New Delhi, Feb 5: The Supreme Court on Monday stayed a Bombay High Court order which had set aside the Maharashtra government's notification on Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan Trust.
The High Court had asked the Devendra Fadnavis government to revisit the appointments to the Managing Committee of the Trust which oversees the affairs of one of the most affluent shrines in India.
A bench, headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi and also comprising Justice R Banumathi, issued notices to the PIL (Public Interest Litigation) petitioners after hearing a plea filed by the Maharashtra government.
The state government in its notification had said that Shirdi Sansthan Trust members would be protected from criminal prosecution and there were many PILs which had challenged it before the Bombay High Court.
The Bombay High Court had earlier set aside the Maharashtra government notification.
It was later subsequently challenged by the Maharashtra government in the Supreme Court.
After hearing the Maharashtra government's plea, the apex court stayed the High Court order and issued notice to PIL petitioners in the matter. UNI
