Supreme Court Upholds Kerala High Court Order in Kashi Math Valuables Case
The Supreme Court on September 15, 2026, dismissed Raghavendra Thirtha Swami's appeal against a Kerala High Court order allowing Kashi Math head Samyamindra Tirtha Swami to continue execution proceedings to recover religious valuables. The dispute over the Samsthan's leadership began in 2000 between Raghavendra Thirtha and former head Sudhindra Thirtha, with courts affirming Sudhindra's position. After Sudhindra's death in 2017, the Kerala High Court permitted Samyamindra Tirtha to proceed with recovery efforts, a decision upheld by the Supreme Court.
