Church Feud: Kerala High Court Directs Ernakulam And Palakkad District Collectors To Take Over Possession Of 6 Churches

The Kerala High Court directed the District Collector to take control of a disputed church that has been at the center of a long-standing feud between the Orthodox and Jacobite factions. The court emphasized the need for maintaining law and order while adjudicating religious disputes. This intervention reflects the court’s effort to uphold judicial directives and prevent tensions from escalating into violence. The ongoing legal battle between the two factions has been a contentious issue in Kerala, and the court’s directive aims to ensure peaceful resolution through legal means rather than through conflict or sectarian violence.
