Swami Svarupanad went over to another saint many years ago, and he has been told to reliquish all claims to the Jyotir Math.
Obviously, the Swami Svarupanand is a caste monger just like all the rest of the Shanks in India. I wouldn't believe anything he says. Swami Shantanand was succeeded by Swami Vasudevanand, the current Shankaracarya of the North. According to Vidyasankar Sundaresan, "Swami Vasudevanand is the sole remaining representative of the Guru Dev lineage..."
