New Delhi, July 21 -- The Supreme Court on Monday cautioned all parties against politicising the investigation into the alleged embezzlement of donations received at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, while asking the Uttar Pradesh government to consider placing the ongoing police investigation under the supervision of the same three-member special investigation team (SIT) that had first uncovered prima facie evidence of the alleged fraud. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana directed the state to obtain instructions on reconstituting the SIT and fixed the matter for July 27, when it will examine the progress of the probe, the state's response and decide whether any further directions are required. "Don't play politics...Don't politicise the issue. It is a simple and prima facie case of commission of an offence and investigations have to be taken to their logical end in a fair, impartial and dispassionate manner," observed the bench while hearing a batch of petitions seeking an independent probe into the alleged financial irregularities in the affairs of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The controversy surfaced in June after allegations that donations worth several crores were siphoned off before being deposited into the temple's designated bank accounts. Eight people have been arrested in the case so far. Amid the ongoing investigation, former Trust general secretary Champat Rai and former trustee Anil Mishra resigned, with their resignations being accepted by the Trust earlier this month.P5...
