Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 77 of The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1927, affirming that the Endowment Board's determination of the religious portion of an endowment is final unless contested in court. The Court held that the Appellants' failure to comply with the Board's order rendered them liable for administrative action. The judgment reinforced the authority of the Endowment Board in managing religious and charitable endowments, emphasizing compliance with statutory provisions.
