Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the disputes between the Patriarch faction and the Catholicos faction of the Malankara Church regarding the administration of church assets and governance under the 1934 Constitution. The Court held that the church and its assets must be managed according to the majority will of the parishioners, affirming the validity of the 1934 Constitution as the governing document. The appeals against the High Court's decisions were dismissed, reinforcing the need for adherence to established church governance principles.
