Temples always protested Govt's Hindu Charitable Endowment Act of 1997. I think some temples appealed against it.
So what happens now ?

CBI examines Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao for 2006 order as Union minister - The Times of India
NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Monday examined Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao in connection with the alleged irregularities in the award of contract related to civil works done in ESI hospitals, which caused a loss of Rs 6 crore approximately to the government.
Sources said that Rao, who held the post of Union minister of labour, employment and training in 2006, showed special interest in ensuring the contract was given to Andhra Pradesh Fisheries Department by cancelling the tender from NBCC, which is a central agency for such works.
CBI found that Rao's private secretary wrote to ESI hospitals management that the minister (Rao) had desired that contract be taken from NBCC and given to an executive engineer V Suryanarayana of AP Fisheries Department. The work was related to small civil work and maintenance of ESI hospitals in three cities.
Officials said that Suryanarayana of AP Fisheries had written a letter to both ESIC and Rao, who was Union minister at that time, asking that the contract be given to them. "The PS of then minister (Rao) wrote to ESIC that minister has desired that work be allotted to AP Fisheries without looking into the rules and regulations that only National Building Construction Corporation is mandated to carry out such works. Everything happened very quickly and ESIC was forced to change the contract, which had already been given to NBCC by that time. Minister's letter played an important role in influencing the contract in favour of AP Fisheries," said an official.
Sources said that IIT Chennai was approached to conduct a survey of the work done after AP Fisheries carried out the maintenance in three hospitals of ESI - in Hyderabad, Vizag and Vijaywada. IIT Chennai and an internal probe by Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) of India in 2007-2008 found that the work was of substandard quality and failed to satisfy the terms of the Rs 19-crore contract.
Sources said that there was an overall loss of Rs 6 crore in the contract, as it had to be given to another company.
"The whole work in three hospitals had to be again given to a company after IIT Chennai found major problems with the work. This led to extra burden on the budgets of ESIC, leading to loss to exchequer," said a CBI official.
CBI officials said that Rao was asked questions about how he gave his approval for the work to AP Fisheries.
CBI has registered an FIR in the matter in 2011 in which Suryanarayana, the then executive engineer of the Andhra Pradesh Fisheries Department, was named along with unknown others. Suryanarayana, sources say, was already under probe in the state for alleged amassing of disproportionate assets.
CBI has so far examined Rao's private secretary, the then director general of ESIC and the then controller of finance in connection with the case.

Recently, Telangana Chief Minister KCR was quizzed by the CBI in the ESI hospitals case in which KCR allegedly misused his authority as Union Minister in the UPA government and threw the rule book to the winds.
Now, he stands in danger of being summoned for questioning by the CBI in another far more important case. This also relates to a decision that KCR took as Union Minister in the UPA.
The CBI is investigating all operations of the ‘Sahara Group’ whose chief Subrata Roy is in jail. KCR apparently took a decision in favor of the Sahara Group which caused the national exchequer, loss to the tune of nearly Rs 7000 crore.
His secretary at that time was Dilip who has apparently made it clear to the CBI that everything he did was at the behest of KCR.
If summons are issued to KCR, then it could open the Pandora’s Box for him. More importantly, ABN Andhra Jyothy, KCR’s bitter rival is going ahead full steam with coverage of this issue.

HC has not repealed the Hindu Charitable Endowment Act of 1997. It has just rejected the amendments made to it.
Interesting info on this blog.

Religious Institutions Act: Karnataka High Court quashes amendments | Deccan Chronicle
BENGALURU: In a setback to the state government, the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday struck down two amendments to the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Amendment) passed by the state government in 2011 and 2012.
A division bench of Justices Anand Byrareddy and S. Sujatha struck down the amended act in entirety, while citing it as discriminatory and violative of Constitutional Rights.
The court passed the judgment while hearing a batch of pleas challenging the constitutional validity of the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Amendment) Act 2011 (Act 22/2011) and Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Amendment) Act 2012. Several temple trusts had approached the court questioning the amendments to the Act, which the state government had claimed would protect the hereditary rights of archakas and trustees of temples, help form state and district-level dharmika parishats with powers to administer temples and settle disputes.
With the high court striking down the amendments to the Act, the State level Religious Council (Dharmika Parishat), which was empowered under the amended Act to resolve any disputes on religious practices, customs, traditions and various other issues, will automatically lose its powers.
The High Court on Tuesday observed, “The fact that the Apex Court has expressed in it order dated 24.3.15 that the Act would be in force till the disposal of the appeal pending before it, is not with reference to the 2011 or 2012 amended Acts, but in reference to Act 33 of 2001. Since we are in agreement with the views expressed by the Division Bench of this court in Shri Sahasra Lingeshwara case, our work was cut out to only address whether the legislative exercise by the state to repeatedly amend the Act has only resulted in reiterating the very provision which were held unconstitutional, the need for elaborate pleadings in that regard was hardly necessary."

HC strikes down Hindu Endowments Act
BENGALURU, NOV 17, 2015: DHNS:
AA
The High Court on Tuesday struck down the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Amendment) Act, 2011 and Karnataka Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Amendment) Act, 2012 in entirety stating the said Acts were discriminatory and violative of Constitutional rights.
A division bench comprising Justice Anand Byrareddy and Justice S Sujatha pronounced the judgement after hearing a batch of petitions in Dharwad bench, filed by 68 temples of Uttara Kannada district under the Muzrai department. The petitioners had contended that giving powers to the State government for appointing non-official members of their choice was being largely misused at the religious institutions.
- See more at: HC strikes down Hindu Endowments Act - Deccan Herald
Conflicting reports both by Deccan Chronicle and Deccan Herald. Need to wait and see whether the whole act has been struck down or just the amendments to it.
Warning to the PM perhaps to keep off unofficial India's First Family!!!
