Judgment text excerpt
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 noted that the matter was sub-judice due to a pending Civil Suit regarding the validity of the trust deed, and directed that a fresh show cause notice under Section 29(2) be issued to the committee. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the status quo until the Board's final decision on the matter.
