The grounds for removal were confined to misconduct, incapacity, breach of trust, persistent default, violation of tenets, or immoral life, and the inquiry was treated as quasi-judicial with notice, hearing, and further challenge by suit and appeal. Temporary suspension and administrative arrangements pending inquiry were held to be necessary and limited measures that did not permanently divest the denomination of administration or interfere with essential religious rites. The statutory scheme was therefore found consistent with Articles 14, 19(1)(f), 25, 26 and 31(1). en-us Wed, 26 Mar 1969 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 09 May 2022 16:54:37 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=302189 Sections 46 and 47 of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1966 were upheld as a valid regulatory scheme for removal and temporary suspension of a mathadhipathi.
