Judgment

AKIL KURESHI, J. All the appeals arise out of a common judgment and order dated 21-1-2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in group of petitions being Special Civil Application No. 9819 of 2009 (reported in 2010 (2) GLR 1399) and connected matters. By the said judgment, learned Single Judge partially allowed the petitions. Both the rival groups are aggrieved by part of the judgment which is adverse to them.

2. Brief facts need to be noted at the outset :

2.1. Central issue pertains to constitution of the Managing Committee of one Sri Radharaman Dev Temple Trust ("the trust" for short) which manages and administers the affairs of main temple situated at Junagadh besides other temples whose devotees are members of Swaminarayan sect.

2.2. A scheme for the purpose of administration of the trust ("the said scheme" for short) which is prevailing presently and applicable to the present case was formulated under order dated 15/18-2-1984 passed by learned District Judge, Junagadh. To various provisions of the said scheme we shall advert to at a later stage.

2.3. On 31-5-2009, election for members of the Committee of the trust was held. Result of the election was declared on 1-6-2009.
