As regards administration of property which a religious denomination is entitled to own and acquire, it has undoubtedly the right to administer such property but only in accordance with law.

A case of forgery has been registered against Church of North India (CNI) Bishop Peter Baldev and 16 others for allegedly selling church properties worth Rs 10,000 crore in a case that could prove to be one of the biggest church scams in the country.

In this case the President of the church is not an authority to sell the properties that belong to church on his own.

This selling has to be approved by the governing body which will take a decision after majority pass a resolution to sell the property for the benefit of the church and the programs that the church is proposing to have it in future.

 

 

It is advisable to contact, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/documents, professional advise and proceeding

ok sir thanks. but the president had majority support.he sold. but minority people what to do to safeguard the asset.

If this property was sold on the basis of the decision taken by majority and the funds are utilized for the developmental activities of church or it social obligation then you cannot do anything about it. If you suspect misappropriation or abuse of power by the president then you may file a PIL against this illegal transaction by producing substantial documentary evidences to prove the alleged irregularities. You first discuss the subject matter with like minded members of the church and take decision that would be proper to the prevailing circumstances.
