We have to file a suit for cancellation of registration of such property before the concerned court & as well as we have to take criminal procedings against him regards the matter & For sure you will get those property to diocese.

HI
Need more details.
Was the land initially registered in the name of diocese and subsequently the land was transferred to the name of the priest?
Or was it that the Priest having received the funds from the church, got the villagers to register their lands in the names of the priest instead of the church ?
please let me know more details and i will be glad to support your cause.
