Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against a High Court order rejecting interim applications for status quo in a dispute over the Mathadhipathi of Kashi Math Samsthan. The Court held that the trial court's interim order maintaining status quo was valid and should have been respected, emphasizing the importance of preserving the status quo in religious institutions during litigation. The appeals were allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reinstating the trial court's interim order.
