The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined a plea filed by Padmanabhaswamy Temple Trust seeking to exempt it from the audit of 25 years as ordered by the top court last year.

The Supreme Court today ordered that former Comptroller and Auditor General of India Vinod Rai will supervise special audit of property of Kerala's famous Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple, which is facing charges of financial irregularites, and constituted a new administrative committee headed by District Judge, Thiruvananthapuram.
