Singh v. Dist. Ct. (singh) (civil)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied a petition for extraordinary writ relief challenging the refusal to dismiss a corporate-governance action involving a religious nonprofit. It held that the neutral-principles exception to ecclesiastical abstention is not limited to real-property disputes and applies whenever a dispute can be resolved under secular law without considering religious doctrine, practice, or texts. The court concluded that the asserted bylaw, records, committee-authority, and declaratory claims could be resolved under Nevada corporate law and the organization's bylaws. No separate opinions were filed.
