"The court of the Judicial Commissoners on the 1st October 1923 made a decree setting aside the decree of Lower Court and ordering (1) That the Swetambaris are entitled to the exclusive management of the temple and immage of Shri Antariksha Parasnathji Maharaj and that they have right to worship the image in accordance with their custom, (2) That the Digambaris have a right of worshipping the image in accordance with an arrangement made in 1905 but are not to interfere with the Swetambari custom of Worship, (3) That the Digambari sect be permanently restrained from obstructing the Swetambari sect in getting the image restored to its original form and plastering the same now and hereafter."
'That the appellants obtained leave to appeal to your Majestry in council."
"THE LORDS OF THE COMMITTEE in obedience to His late Majesty's said order in council have taken the appeal and humble petition into consideration and having heard counsel on behalf of the parties on both sides Their Lordships do this day agree humbly to report to Your Majesty as their opinion that this appeal ought to be dismissed and the decree of the Court of Judicial Commissioners of the Central Provinces dated 1st day of October 1923 affirmed.'
"HIS MAJESTY having taken the said report into consideration was pleased by and with the advice of HIS PRIVY COUNCIL to approve thereof and to order as it hereby ordered that the same be punctually observed, obeyed and carried into execution."
