Ram Mandir missing funds: SC refuses urgent hearing of plea demanding CBI investigation into 'embezzlement'

New Delhi: Supreme Court on Monday refused to grant an urgent hearing of a PIL seeking a CBI probe into the financial irregularities and missing funds at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

Advocate NK Goswami mentioned the matter before a vacation bench of justices MM Sundresh and Sheel Nagu.

The counsel contended that electronic evidence may be tampered with and urged the bench for an early hearing so that directions could be passed for evidence preservation.
