Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals challenging the Rajasthan High Court's decision which upheld the lower courts' rulings regarding the succession of the Sajjadah Nashin and Mutawalli of a Dargah. The court found that the nomination process established by the original constitution (Zabta) of the Dargah was followed correctly, and the succession was valid as per the rules laid down. Consequently, the court affirmed the decisions of the lower courts, maintaining the status quo of the Dargah's management.
