V.V. Sreenivasan, chairman of the Coordination Committee, identified that not one of the instructions within the High Court order—other than the formation of the Board—had been carried out by the State authorities, regardless of the political adjustments through the years.
The temples below the MDB nonetheless observe the Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, instituted throughout the British period, whereas different Devaswom Boards within the State observe completely different laws. As a end result, staff below the MDB are denied most of the advantages loved by their counterparts in different boards. This has led to a number of disputes over the wage construction of MDB employees. Meanwhile, a complete Devaswom legislation framed by the State authorities eight years in the past is but to be carried out.
