SWAMI SHANKARANAD (D) BY LRS. vs MAHANT SRI SADGURU SARNANAND ETC. .

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, concerning the sale of property by a Religious Trust. The Court held that a disciple does not possess the requisite standing to maintain such an appeal, as the interests of the Trust and its management are distinct from those of individual disciples. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
