B.J. Divan, J.1. In each of these four Civil Revision Applications, the petitioner is the same individual and the respondent is also the same individual. These four Civil Revision Applications arise out of virtually the same order which was passed in two suits, which were consolidated before the trial Court and hence I will dispose of all these four Civil Revision Applications by this common judgment.2.

The present opponent who is the plaintiff in that suit filed the suit challenging an order passed by the defendant, the present petitioner, in each of these four matters, The order that was passed by the defendant was in his capacity as the Acharya of the particular sect to which the plaintiff and the defendant belonged declaring th...
