In Brief
These consolidated civil appeals concerned the same religious dispute previously decided by the Supreme Court in K.S. Verghese v. St. Peter's & Paul's Syrian Orthodox Church and Others (2017). The Court held that since that earlier judgment had finally settled the controversy and remains binding authority, the present appeals had no surviving matter for adjudication. The appeals were disposed of, and the Court emphasized that the binding effect of the representative suit judgment must extend to all courts and parties to prevent multiplicity of litigation.
