.......The audit, he said, should be undertaken by Mr. Rai and a team of auditors to be appointed by him. He should be assisted by a Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) who will be nominated by the RBI Governor in consultation with the Amicus Curiae. The audit should cover management of the temple, the Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple Trust and allied institutions over the past 25 years. Mr. Rai should be empowered to take into custody and seal all documents of the trust properties forthwith, Mr. Subramaniam has suggested.............
The very purpose of VITALINFO is to provide a platform for wider dissemination of updated information related to and happening of events in and around RBI.

The observation “There appears to be resistance on the part of the entire State apparatus in effectively addressing the said issues. The lack of adequate investigation by the police is a telling sign that although Trivandrum is a city in the State of Kerala, parallelism based on monarchic rule appears to predominate the social psyche.” Made by Amicus Curiae in fact speaks a lot more than what is expressed in words. The concern about safety of nation’s resources in the hands of those who are legally responsible to protect them-be it government, be it a trustee or a corporate or any other organisation in whose hands the assets have reached- anxiety about the lethargy of investigating agencies, refusal of government to get accounts and practices ‘audited’ in time and on an ongoing basis, a lament about the soft approach of authorities when it comes to ‘divine’ and ‘royal’ issues et al get factored in, in this statement which should be further followed up. Read this in the context of the refusal by certain temple authorities even to give even any indicative figures about the stock of gold/jewellery held when approached by RBI recently.
