Supreme Court Cites Lord Krishna, Questions UP Government Over Banke Bihari Temple Redevelopment

"Lord Krishna was the first mediator... please try to mediate the matter," the bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi stated. The bench suggested appointing a retired High Court or district judge as the temple's management trustee and proposed to keep part of the 15 May Supreme Court order in abeyance, which had allowed the state to use temple funds.
