Rev.A.Dilipkumar vs The Church Of South India (Csi) on 29 July, 2022
6. Since the issues raised before this Court have already been raised in as
many as three civil suits, it would not be proper for this Court to entertain the
writ petition. I cannot lose sight of the fact that the Division Bench of this
Court in the decision reported in 2014-3-L.W.108 (S.D.K.Rajan Vs. Jeddiya
Sathya @ Sathya) had held that CSI Thoothukudi-Nazareth Diocese is not
amenable to the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution
and that election to the said diocese can at the most be the subject matter of a
civil suit and not a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution.
