    Summary The Kerala High Court dismissed 12 contempt appeals challenging an interlocutory order directing District Collectors to take over possession of five disputed Orthodox Syrian churches. The Court held that while respondents couldn't be compelled to enter churches if law and order would be compromised, directing authorities to assume control was justified as a remedy to prevent contemnors from enjoying fruits of their contempt of earlier judgments. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
