CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Supreme Court has reserved its judgment in the dispute concerning the management and religious rights associated with the Shri Mahavir Ji Jain temple. The case involves differences between the Shwetambar and Digambar Jain sects over various aspects of the temple’s administration, worship and religious practices.
During the hearing, the Supreme Court advised representatives of both Jain sects to maintain harmony and explore possibilities for resolving their differences amicably. The court emphasised that disputes between religious communities should not escalate and that mutual understanding would be in the larger interest of devotees and the Jain community.
The Shri Mahavir Ji temple is considered an important Jain religious and pilgrimage centre, attracting devotees from different parts of the country. The longstanding dispute over its management has therefore attracted significant attention among followers of both sects.
The Supreme Court’s advice is being viewed as an effort to encourage dialogue and prevent further friction between the two communities. While the final decision has been reserved, the court’s observations underline the importance of preserving the sanctity of the religious institution while balancing the claims of the parties involved.
The forthcoming verdict is expected to clarify the legal position and could have wider implications for the administration and religious rights associated with the temple. Devotees and community representatives are now awaiting the court’s final decision.
