Rajsamand MP Diya Kumari

JAIPUR: Additional chief civil court (No-2), Jaipur, has issued contempt notices to erstwhile Jaipur royal family member and Rajsamand MP Diya Kumari and 11 others for stopping the priest from conducting puja at Jamwa Mata temple located in Jamwa Ramgarh despite court orders and sought their replies by August 23. The court gave this order on the contempt petition of temple priest Bhagwati Prasad Sharma.
Sharma claimed in court that his ancestors used to do service (puja) in Jamwa Mata temple. After the dispute regarding performing puja, Sharma filed a claim in the court and requested not to obstruct the service worship of the temple as per the turn. The court had allowed the petitioner to perform puja according to his turn on October 4, 2017.
It was said in the contempt application that from May 4 this year he had started performing service in the temple but the condemners did not allow him to enter the temple. The condemners said that this was done on the direction of Diya Kumari. They threatened to kill him and his son if the diktat was not followed. It was said in application that many times in the past too the condemners prevented him from entering the temple.
