The Supreme Court schedules hearings on petitions related to alleged theft or embezzlement of donations connected with the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Multiple outlets report that a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana will take up petitions seeking an investigation into the donation “theft” row. One report says the court hears a batch of petitions when it reopens on July 13, while another says the matter is listed for July 20. The petitions primarily seek a CBI probe into the allegations. In addition, The Hindu reports that the court proposes a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and tells petitioners not to “play politics” with the case. The court also issues notice to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, asking for its response. Another report says the court lists the matter for further orders on July 27. Separately, an outlet reports that the Akhara asks the court to direct the trust to make its finances public, aligning with requests from complainants for disclosure of financial details. The listings and procedural steps indicate ongoing judicial consideration of the scope and timing of the probe requested.
