The High Court comments on VIP visits have drawn public attention after judges raised concerns over special privileges given to influential individuals at religious places.
The court strongly questioned why certain people receive special access while ordinary devotees wait in long queues. Judges observed that VIP arrangements should not inconvenience the public or disrupt regular darshan for worshippers.
During the hearing, the court reviewed reports and related records concerning a recent VIP visit. It noted that several devotees faced delays because authorities gave priority access to a well-known visitor. The bench said such incidents create an unfair situation for people who patiently wait for their turn.
The court also asked officials to ensure that future arrangements do not affect common devotees. Judges emphasized that religious places should treat everyone equally and that public convenience must remain a priority.
The High Court comments on VIP visits have reignited discussions on VIP culture and the need for equal treatment in public and religious spaces.
