Sri Mahalinga Thambiran Swamigal vs His Holiness Sri La Sri Kasivasi ... on 19 October, 1973
The, Division Bench of the High Court was of the view that
the decision in Tiruvambala Desikar v. Manikkavachaka
Desikar(2) Was inapplicable to resolve the
controversy here for the reason that Achariya
Abishegam ceremony which invested the junior head there with
certain spiritual powers was admittedly not performed in the
instant case. It was submitted by Mr. Gupte for the
respondent that the foundation of the decision in the above
case was the finding in that case that there was the
ceremony of Achariya Abishegam on nomination and that had
the effect of investing the junior head with certain
spiritual powers and as the nomination of the appellant was
not attended with Achariya Abishegam, the nomination did not
invest the appellant with any spiritual capacity so as to
make the nomination irrevocable.
