Kerala Chief Secretary directed to file an affidavit explaining whether the government is proposing to enact any legislation on the management and administration of the disputed Malankara churches as recommended by the State Law Reforms Commission
A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Tuesday directed the Chief Secretary to file an affidavit explaining whether the government is proposing to enact any legislation on the management and administration of the disputed Malankara churches as recommended by the State Law Reforms Commission.
The Bench passed the order on an appeal filed by the State government against a single judge’s directive to the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Group Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, to take over the Kothamangalam Marthoma church if the Ernakulam district collector did not implement the court’s order.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
