The Supreme Court on November 4, 2026, stayed the Madras High Court order that formed a Board of Management to administer the ancient Chidambaram Sabanayagar Temple in Tamil Nadu. The SC questioned if State High Courts have guardian jurisdiction only over public temples, not other faiths' places of worship. The HC had cited maladministration by the hereditary Podhu Dikshidar priests since 2014.
