Cautioning about the need for transparency in conducting such an event, the court remarked that the duties and obligations of a body exercising the powers under the Devaswom Act are only towards the religious institutions governed by the statute and the trust and conscience of the people vested in them.

"Anything they do must fall within the ambit of the statute and not beyond," the HC said.
