Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh), July 14 (ANI): The Ayodhya Development Authority (ADA) on Tuesday pasted a notice on the newly constructed house of Lavkush Mishra, a property reportedly registered in the name of his wife, Supriya Mishra, directing the owners to produce the approved building plan.

According to the notice, the ADA had earlier issued a communication on July 3 asking the owners to submit the sanctioned building plan for the property. However, as the required documents were not furnished within the stipulated period, the authority has now fixed July 15 as the fresh deadline for compliance.

The notice states that if the approved building plan is not produced by the specified date, the property may be sealed under the relevant provisions of the law.

Lavkush Mishra is one of the accused in the alleged Ram Temple donation embezzlement case, which is currently under investigation. The case remains under judicial process, and no conclusion has been reached regarding the allegations.

Meanwhile, an Ayodhya court on July 13 extended the judicial custody of all eight accused by another 14 days. The accused appeared before the court through video conferencing and are scheduled to appear again on July 27.

Earlier, the Supreme Court issued notices to the Centre, the Uttar Pradesh government and the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on petitions seeking an independent, court-monitored probe into the alleged misappropriation of donations at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple.

The petitions before the Supreme Court seek an independent probe into allegations that donations made by devotees at the Ram Mandir were siphoned off by staff handling the counting of cash offerings. (ANI)
