The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to list a review plea in the ownership dispute over the Hare Krishna temple in Bengaluru. The CJI said the review and other interim pleas will be heard a week after October 5. Senior counsel for ISKCON Mumbai asked for an earlier date.
The dispute is between ISKCON Bengaluru and ISKCON Mumbai. In May 2025, the Supreme Court held that the property belonged to ISKCON Bengaluru. A November 2025 review hearing produced a split verdict, with one justice finding grounds for review and the other dismissing it. The case was then referred to the CJI for directions.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hindustan Times and Rediff both present this as a routine court listing, each noting the same procedural step: a review plea will be heard after October 5. Neither source privileges one ISKCON faction's narrative over the other, nor does either editorialise about the split verdict. The reduction of both justice Maheshwari and justice Masih's positions to a one-line quote each is sparse but sufficient. The uniform straight reporting leaves the reader with nothing but the fact that the CJI has set a date, and the ownership dispute remains unresolved past that listing.
