Deepak: I am conceding to two things- state intervention is possible, and I am also saying that the State intervention is amenable to judicial review.

J Nagarathna: there is no taking over under the state Act, it becomes a notified temple. Once its a notified temple, the act will apply

Deepak: in the tamil nadu legislation, specific provisions exists for the constitution of the trust for temples without ever giving effect to the process of election for trusts. The State directly applies and appoints executive officers, even when there are no instances of maladministration. This hon'ble SC has said that you can takeover provided there is something that smells fishy and that reason has to be recorded in writing before the state can enter into the picture.
