Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure, a scheme for the administration of a religious endowment can include a provision for its modification. The Court ruled that modifications can be made through an application under the scheme itself, without necessitating a separate suit, provided such modifications pertain to the administration of the trust and do not infringe upon the private rights of the Pujaris. The judgment clarified that a suit under Section 92 is representative and binds all interested parties, even if they were not direct parties to the suit.
