    Court Summary The High Court of Kerala dismissed 12 contempt appeals and upheld a Single Judge's order directing District Collectors to take over possession of five Orthodox Syrian Churches from contumacious parties who defied earlier court orders implementing Supreme Court judgment K.S.Varghese (2017) 15 SCC 333, holding that courts possess inherent power to prevent contemnors from enjoying fruits of their defiance even in contempt proceedings.
