Today in Supreme Court: Tirumala Laddu Case Hearing

The Supreme Court is set to hear petitions today regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the Tirumala laddu prasadam. The issue arose after Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu made statements alleging that animal fat was mixed into the laddu prasadam, prompting accusations of baseless claims.

Petitioner Subrahmanyaswamy has requested the court to clarify the facts surrounding the prasadam, stating that the chief minister's allegations are unfounded. In a noteworthy development, V. V. Subba Reddy, a key leader in the YSR Congress party and former Chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), has also filed a petition. He has urged the Supreme Court to conduct an inquiry involving retired judges and experts.

The hearing comes amid concerns that Subrahmanyaswamy's involvement in the case could pose challenges for the opposition, as he is known for being a formidable opponent. The outcome of today's proceedings is highly anticipated, with many keen to see how the court will address the allegations made against the Tirumala prasadam.
