Here I am, assuing that ColdBlueIce is able to read, and I accepted without question, his claim that the High Court had found that Swami Brahmananda Saraswati wasn't a good enough Sanskrit Scholar to be Shankaracharya. What the High Court did was to dismiss the lawsuit. No ruling whatsoever was made about anyone's competency or anything else. Any reference to S. Shatananda's compentency was in the context of what claims the plaintiffs made, NOT what the High Court or the Supreme Court decided. The only thing both courts DECIDED was to dismiss the lawsuit as being improper under the law that was used to justify the lawsuit in the first place:
http://www.austlii.edu.au/~andrew/CommonLII/INSC/1974/153.html [...] The trial Court, after reading the allegations in the plaint and after looking into the entire evidence in the case, came to the conclusion that the suit was primarily one for declaration [1] that Krishnabodhashram was duly installed as the Shankaracharya of the Math on June 25, 1953 and [2] that respondent No. 1 had no right to be nominated as the Head of the Math by Brahmanand as he did not possess the requisite qualification and [3] that his possession of the trust property was only in the capacity, of a trustee de son tort, and so he must be removed from the headship of the Math. The High Court saw no reason to differ from that finding [...] We think that the High Court was right in dismissing the suit on the ground that it did not fall within S. 92 of the Civil Procedure Code. We, therefore, dismiss the appeal but, in the circumstances, without any order .is to costs. V.P.S. Appeal dismissed.
