New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday restrained the seven-member committee from opening vaults of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvanan-thapuram, which according to various estimates contains wealth worth over Rs one lakh crore.

A bench of justices R V Raveendran and A K Patnaik asked the petitioner Raja Marthanda Varma, erstwhile Prince of Travancore, and the Kerala government to come out with appropriate suggestions for ensuring sanctity and security of the ancient temple which has come to the limelight following discovery of the huge wealth. The apex court posted the matter for further hearing on next Thursday.

The royal family has challenged the Kerala government’s decision to take over the administration of the temple which was earlier upheld by the Kerala High Court. (PTI)
