A three-judge bench headed by CJI Surya Kant, which also included Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V. Mohana, had directed the SIT to submit the progress report.

The Supreme Court is hearing the petitions in which a demand has been made to conduct a court-monitored investigation by the CBI into the alleged financial irregularities in the donations received by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Notices have also been issued to the Central Government, UP Government and the Trust. This case is related to the allegations that in Ayodhya Ram Mandir Donations given by devotees were misused. After these allegations, the Yogi government of UP had formed a 3-member SIT in June to investigate.

These include unauthorized access to donation boxes and several deficiencies in the counting and monitoring process.
