Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the ownership dispute over property claimed by the appellant Math, asserting rights based on historical management and a 1925 decree from a prior suit (OS No.58/1922). The Court held that the Math retains ownership of the property and the idols, rejecting the defendants' claim that the property is an independent temple for the Viswakarma community. The ruling emphasized the importance of the historical context and management structure established by the Math, affirming the Math's right to the property under relevant Hindu religious and property laws.
