(7) C. R. Case No. 15 of 1910, "Evidence in both cases show that the Digambaris have all along been aggressors."
(8) It may be noted that even in 1960, on representation by Digambers the main idol was attached by the State of Maharashtra, to stop Shwetambaris from applying lape (replastering). The Shwetambaris approached Hon. Shri Y. B Chavan, the then Chief Minister, who on merits and applying his mind to case revoked the order and allowed Shwetambaris to apply the lape. The letter of the Home Department No. SBI / DIS 1260/ 2732 of 16th June, 1960, confirming the same is attached hereto for your ready reference.
(9) C. S. No. 123 A of 1956-Tudgement delivered on 16th January 1965-as regard Pawali Mandir, another ancient temple on the outskirts of the villa ,e.
The Learned Judge held that the Pawali temple and its adjoining fields Survey Nos. 198 and 198/1, are the properties of the Antriksha Parasnath Temple and the demand by the Digambari Community for their full possession and management was rejected.
(10) Judgement of High Court in Rev. 351/ 64 dated 6th April 1966 :
" The Learned Judge has observed that the dispute in suit is between two rival sects of the same religion. That is not a strictly correct statement. It is no longer a matter of dispute between two contending parties. The defendants (Shwetambaris) are doing the things complained of under authority of the decisions of the Civil Court, as also of the Privy Council. Those decisions must stand until they are set aside, in accordance with the law, and till they are set aside, the dispute is between mere challengers or claimants on the one hand, and persons whose rights have been upheld by the decree of the highest tribunal on the other."
