The secret chambers of Taj

The Supreme Court has ordered the opening of secret chambers in the famous Sri Anantha Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala, which are rumoured to contain fortunes stored by the erstwhile rulers of the Travancore princely state. In another related development, riches worth millions were discovered in the private abode of Sri Satya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi. This has brought to focus the hidden rooms in Taj Mahal, which are said to hold secrets of historical importance.  Will the Supreme Court order a similar exercise in the monument of love too? If Padmanabhaswamy and Sai Baba are not above the law of the land, why should Shah Jahan be?
