However, in 1912, there was a split in the community when one part declared itself an autocephalous church and announced the re-establishment of the ancient Catholicosate of the East in India. This was not accepted by those who remained loyal to the Syrian Patriarch. The two sides were reconciled in 1958 when the Indian Supreme Court declared that only the autocephalous Catholicos and Malankara Metropolitan and bishops in communion with him had legal standing. But in 1975, the Syrian Patriarch excommunicated and deposed the Catholicos and appointed a rival, an action that resulted in the community splitting yet again. On 21 January 1995, the Supreme Court of India stated the existence of one orthodox church in India divided into two groups and noticed that spiritual authority of the Syrian Patriarchate reached vanishing point, acknowledging the rights of the autocephalous Church.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book| author1  = Fahlbusch| author2  = Lochman| author3  = Mbiti| author4  = Pelikan| title    = The Encyclopedia Of Christianity, Volume 5 S-Z| date  = November 2010| publisher = Vandenhoeck&Rupercht| location  = Gittingen, Germany| isbn      = 978-0-8028-2417-2| pages    = 285| quote    = The autocephalous Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church is governed by Holy Episcopal Synod of 24 Bishops presided over by His Holiness Moran Mar Baselios Mar Thoma Didimos catholicos of the east and Malankara Metropolitan.
