Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the CBI to investigate the alleged illegal transfer of land belonging to the deity Shree Shree Ram Janki Ji Asthan Tapowan Mandir, emphasizing that the original Trust Deed from 1948 and its reconstitution in 1987 prohibited such transfers. The Court found that the subsequent Trust Deed of 2005, which allowed for property sales, was created with ulterior motives to facilitate illegal land transfers. The Court affirmed the High Court's view that the actions of the trustees were in violation of the Trust Deed, necessitating a thorough investigation into the matter.
