Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959, Section 6(13) and Section 6(20)

Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959—Section 6(13) and Section 6(20)—The fact that there are some idols installed in a Math and members of the public offer worship to such idol will not make it a place of public religious worship, that is, a temple, if the other ingredients of a math exist or if it is established to be a premises belonging to a math and used by the math for its purposes—If the property in its origin was a math property, it cannot be treated as a temple merely because the math had installed idols and permitted worship by the members of the community and the premises is used for rendering charitable and religious services—The Division Bench, the instant case, has proceeded on the erroneous impression that existence of an idol in a math property, when worshipped by the members of the community, would convert the math property into a temple.
