A Supreme Court bench headed by the Chief Justice of India will examine three separate petitions related to the financial management of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The petitions highlight concerns over the handling of donations and demand greater accountability regarding the trust's assets.

One prominent petition was filed by RJD MP Sudhakar Singh, which specifically requests that the trust be mandated to publish complete financial statements. This includes a detailed breakdown of all domestic donations and foreign contributions received since the trust's inception.
