UGAMSINGH & MISHRIMAL vs KESRIMAL & ORS,

The Supreme Court held that the dispute regarding the worship rights of the idol of Adeshwarji in the temple at Paroli is of a civil nature, maintainable under Section 9 of the Civil Procedure Code. The Court found that the Digambri Sect had a right to worship the idol, and any attempt by the Swetamber Sect to alter the idol or its worship would infringe upon this right. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions to grant a permanent injunction against the Swetamber Sect's interference with the Digambri Sect's worship rights.
