Authority: High Court of Judicature at Bombay
Order Date: 15 October 2026
The court considered an interim application filed by Chandrashekhar Anant Bhide and another applicant against Shri Devdeveshwar Sansthan Parvati & Kothrud, Pune. The dispute concerns the use of temple premises, specifically the right to display a board, place a donation box, and perform Abhishek/Pooja. The court stayed the impugned order dated 5 October 2023 and confirmed that the interim arrangement dated 12 October 2023 continues: a 3‑ft × 2‑ft board may be displayed, a donation box of reasonable size may be placed, and no person may be appointed by the trust to perform Abhishek/Pooja until the First Appeal is heard. The First Appeal is scheduled for admission on 18 December 2026, and the temple premises will remain open to all devotees, with ritual rights governed by the interim order.
