Hindustan Times Noida
|February 04, 2025
The Delhi high court has directed the central information commission (CIC) to decide whether Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust, set up for the construction and management of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, is a "public authority" and thus accountable to provide information to citizens under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
NEW DELHI:
The trust was constituted by the Centre on February 5, 2020 following the Supreme Court's November 2019 ruling in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit, paving the way for the construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya. The trust comprises 15 members, including K Parasaran, senior advocate practising in the Supreme Court, Jagatguru Shankaracharya Jyot-ishpeethadhishwar, Swami Vasudevanand Saraswatiji Maharaj, and is headed by Nripendra Misra.
