“Metran Kakshi” (Self proclaimed Indian Orthodox people) violated Court order at Kurinji St. Peter’s & St. Paul’s JSOC….. RDO filed case against “Metran Kakshi” for violating the court orders……….
The Metran Kakshis have shown their ugly face again and proved once again that they can go to any extent to create problems in the Church. Metran Kakshis, who depend on Courts for anything and everything consider themselves above the court orders and law.
H.B the Catholicose Baselius Thomas Ist was the chief celebrant and HG Mor Thodocius Mathews, HG Mor Aprem Mathews were assisted in the ceremony.
Recognizing the prominence and activities, H.H. Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas with his blessed Apostolic Bull, St. George Universal SOC have been elevated to a Reesh Church (Valiyapalli).

In a historic judgement, The Special Court, Ernakulam granted equal rights for the Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church in the Cemetery of Kaadeesa Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church, Kayamkumlam. The Jacobite Church will have equal rights along with the Metran Kakshis who have been objecting to our rights since the last 30 years.
