The High Court of MadRAS dismissed an intra-court appeal challenging a writ petition order. The earlier order dismissed the writ petition because Section 69(1) of the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act provides a statutory alternative remedy for challenging the rejections on hereditary trust rights.
No order as the appeal was dismissed.
