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 remain in effect until the suit's resolution. The Court emphasized the importance of preserving the status quo in religious institutions pending litigation, thereby upholding the trial court's decision.
