STATE OF ORISSA vs ABANI BALLAV DEY .

The Supreme Court dismissed the application for intervention and upheld the High Court's order rejecting the compromise petition under Order 23 Rule 3 of the CPC due to lack of permission from the Commissioner of Endowments as required under Section 19 of the Orissa Hindu Religious Endowments Act. The Court emphasized that without the necessary permission, the compromise could not be sanctioned, thereby reinforcing the legal requirement for such approvals in matters involving religious trusts. The appeal by the State of Orissa was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
