casestatus.in Summary

Summary of C.A. No. 009313/2014 Parties: ISKCON Bangalore (Appellant) v. ISKCON Mumbai (Respondent) Key Decision: The Supreme Court held that ISKCON Bangalore, a society registered under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act (1960), is the absolute owner of Schedule 'A' property (6 acres 8 guntas in Bangalore). The Court set aside the High Court's judgment that awarded ownership to ISKCON Mumbai through its Bangalore branch, and restored the Trial Court's decree in favor of ISKCON Bangalore. Reasoning: All documentary evidence—including the 1987 allotment application, BDA sale deed dated August 3, 1988, and subsequent correspondence—consistently identified ISKCON Bangalore as the applicant and allottee. ISKCON Mumbai failed to produce any application or correspondence claiming the property as belonging to its branch. Under BDA Act Section 38B(v), bulk allotment can only be made to societies registered under Karnataka's Societies Registration Act, making ISKCON Bangalore the eligible applicant, not ISKCON Mumbai (a trust).
