R. Murali & Ors vs Kanyaka P. Devasthanam & Charities & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure in the context of a religious and charitable institution governed by the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959. The Court held that the learned single judge's grant of leave to file a suit for modifying the scheme of administration was valid, despite objections from the Board of Trustees, as the previous decree under Article 26 of the Constitution protected the institution from interference. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the leave granted by the High Court's single judge.
