Would Lead To A Super-Spreader Of Covid-19: State In Its Statement Before Kerala High Court Justifying Inaction In Orthodox-Jacobite Church Feud
Live LawThe State in its statement filed before the Kerala High Court in the Orthodox-Jacobite row has cited the ongoing pandemic as a reason for not implementing the mechanism and system proposed by the Apex Court in K.S Varghese & Ors v St. Peter's & St. Paul's Syrian Orthodox & Ors. The State submitted that this decision of the Supreme Court was followed by chaos and confusion, particularly during the funeral of the deceased parishioners belonging to the Patriarch faction in the said cemeteries. Apparently, vicars from the Orthodox faction had also approached the Court seeking police protection for the same reason along with an injunction order. The statement also listed down all the instances where the District Administration had provided necessary assistance for the concerned Vicar and his parishioners to enter the church despite resistance from the rival faction, while simultaneously ensuring law and order in the area.
