I strongly support his demand to hand over the control of management of the Maha Bodhi Temple of Bodhgaya in the hands of the Buddhists.
However, there is a case No.11202 / 2006 filed by an Indian Buddhist organization called "MAHAYOGI RASTRIYA SEVAK SAMITI" in the High Court of Patna [See the website of the High Court of Patna : http://patnahighcourt.bih.nic.in/], challenging the validity and legality of the Bodhgaya Temple Act, 1949 [See website: www.mahabodhi.com] in the light of the Articles 14 & 26 of the Indian Constitution.
The case is still under judicial consideration of the High Court of Patna.
