Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the removal of Ajendraprasadji Narendraprasadji Pandey from the post of Acharya based on a resolution by the Satsangha Maha Sabha, examining the implications under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950. The Court held that the appointment of Rakesh Prasadji Mahendra Prasadji as Acharya was invalid due to procedural irregularities and lack of proper authority, emphasizing the need for adherence to statutory provisions governing religious trusts. Consequently, the Court set aside the lower court's orders and reinstated the original Acharya pending further proceedings.
