The Bihar State Board Of Religious ... vs Vishwamath Prasad Lohia & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's decision to quash the Notification dated 5.8.1989 issued under Section 29(2) of the Bihar State Board Religious Trust Act, 1950, finding that the requisite notice was not properly served to the committee prior to its supersession. The Court emphasized that the scheme under Section 32 of the Act was not adhered to, and as a Civil Suit regarding the trust's validity was pending, the appeals were dismissed while maintaining the status quo. A fresh show cause notice under Section 29(2) was directed to be issued to the committee for further proceedings.
