Lord Krishna was the first mediater … Supreme Court reprimanded the UP government in the Banke Bihari temple case

During the hearing in the Banke Bihari temple case, the Supreme Court commented that Lord Krishna was also an intermediary. The apex court made this comment when it was considering the formation of an interim committee to oversee the management of the prestigious Sri Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh. Justice Suryakant said that when you talk about mediation, he was earlier available intermediaries. So we also try to mediate. The bench, while giving time to the lawyer of Uttar Pradesh to obtain instructions regarding the interim system, said that it is an area of extraordinary importance. We do not want to keep anyone out of it.

The court also criticized the Uttar Pradesh government for the fact that the state government obtained the order affecting the management of Banke Bihari temple without hearing its current representatives. The court said that we do not expect to do so from the state. You took action behind his back without giving any notice. The apex court was hearing petitions challenging the Banke Bihari Temple Trust Ordinance, 2025 by the temple priests, and also demanding amendment in the prior order of the Supreme Court seeking the Uttar Pradesh government to use funds for the Shri Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan.

This is not the first time the apex court has questioned the government. In May, when the case was heard by a separate bench, Justice B.V. Nagratna had questioned why the state decided to hijack the trial between the two private parties.
