Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the disputes arising from two suits concerning the properties of the Telegu Church Council (TCC) under the Companies Act. The Court upheld the findings of the lower courts, affirming that TCC had validly merged into the South India United Church (SIUC) based on the resolutions passed by its General Body. The Court emphasized the importance of majority resolutions in church governance, holding that the merger was legitimate and binding, thus dismissing the appeals against the High Court's decision.
