Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Hyderabad Endowment Regulations, 1940, apply to the temple and its property despite the temple being registered under the Madhya Pradesh Public Trusts Act, 1951. The Court ruled that the trust's location in Hyderabad subjects it to local regulations, and the prior registration does not exempt it from compliance. The Court found no violation of Articles 14 and 19 of the Constitution, affirming the validity of the notice served to the appellant and the subsequent orders by the Director of Endowments.
