The legal battle over control of the Guyana Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha has intensified, with the High Court imposing significant restrictions on the organisation’s court-appointed Interim Management Committee (IMC), including a prohibition on further construction, renovation and other substantial works at the Maha Sabha Ashram.

The interim injunction, granted last week by Justice Christel Lambert-Meertins and entered on August 11, 2026, restrains the first and second respondents—Geeta Chandan-Edmond, in her capacity as Court-Appointed Manager of the affairs of the Maha Sabha, and Mahendra Mookram, also in his capacity as Court-Appointed Manager—from undertaking, continuing or authorising further works at the Ashram.

The order specifically covers capital, structural, permanent, remedial, renovation, alteration and finishing works.
