To,
Bishop K P Kuruvilla,
CSI north Kerala Diocesan office,
Shornur.
Dear Bishop,
Kindly refer to the constitution of diocese of north Kerala in the church of south India, printed as authorized and approved by the diocesan council held on 10 February 2009 and published by north Kerala diocese, CSI diocesan office PB no 104, shornur, Kerala – 689121 and printed at west life advertising, convent road Calicut – 32, and is claimed to be in force effective from 10 February 2009 of which copies are yet not available either in the diocesan office or in the book shops, or with the church authorities or congregation.
This has reference to Shri. Earnest Edapally, diocesan council member, executive member and the working committee member and also a close accomplice of your good self. In his capacity as Kunamangalam panchayath secretary, in the year 2002-2003 he had misappropriated 333 KG of rice meant for food against work for Govt. of Kerala, fabricating and tampering with the panchayath records. The Kerala state performance and audit officer verified and an enquiry is conducted and Shri. Earnest Edapally is found guilty and he is suspended from the govt. job as panchayath secretary with immediate effect by Govt. order no. 1584/ 2009 of 27-06-09 by order of governor of Kerala. The order copy is enclosed with.
By his action, he has forfeited his right to be a member of diocesan council by the constitution chapter 5 rule 35 read with rule 28 and chapter 2 rule 9 A. Consequently he has forfeited his membership in the executive and the working committee. Kindly treat this letter as an instrument of exhaustion of remedies as described in chapter 8 rule 3 before approaching appropriate court of law. Hence a reply of compliance of the constitution is required within 7 days from the receipt of this letter. Kindly act expediently and urgently since the matter is of purity of the church under chapter 8 rule 77 of the constitution.
Thanking you,
Yours truly

Following the complaint registered against the Bishop, Bangalore Mirror managed to obtain the Bishop’s personal bank account statements.

What was eventually achieved from all this? Of course, his rather bloated ego was deflated. A criminal case was filed against him, two others who had aided him in breaking the lock of the building, and a correspondent of the Save CSI, who was manhandled by the henchmen of the bishop as he was taking pictures of Bishop’s adventures. By his actions, the Bishop also succeeded in enlightening the public of Tripunithara of his designs, of how he wished to turn an aided elementary school into a place of worship. In the light of this, the public of Tripunithara is now organized against the agenda of the Bishop and has formed a forum - Mission School Samrakshana Samithi. Moreover, it has been reliably learnt that the Director of Public Education has also objected to this move as it is against the Kerala Education Rules (KER). Continue to stay tuned to read more of Bishop’s escapades.
