During the hearing, the Chief Justice also referred to the history of the temple, noting that the district gazetteer records it as having been built by Sant Haridas.
He recounted that when Mughal emperor Akbar visited the saint in disguise, he was moved by the devotional songs being sung for Lord Krishna and offered to reward him.
Sant Haridas, who was blind, declined anything for himself and instead asked for land for the temple.
"Though he was blind, he knew it, that it was Akbar," the Chief Justice said.
