Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the locus standi of a disciple of a Mahant to appeal against a District Judge's order under Section 92(1)(f) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, regarding the sale of property by a Religious Trust. The Court held that the appellant, being a disciple, did not have the standing to challenge the order as he was not a person aggrieved. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the appellant lacked the necessary legal interest to maintain the appeal.
