SC ends decades-long conflict in Kerala church citing '17 verdict

A bench comprising justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan underscored the importance of adhering to its 2017 judgment, which upheld the validity of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church's 1934 constitution to govern the administration of its churches, and voiced disapproval of involving the state government and police to resolve such religious disputes rather than settling them internally.
