NANDURI YOGANANDALAKSHMINARASIMACHARI AND ORS. vs SRI AGASTHESWARASWAMI VARU OFKOLAKALUR

The Supreme Court held that the grant in question constituted a specific endowment for the Kalyanotsavam of the deity, thus establishing it as a specific trust rather than a personal grant burdened with service obligations. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to allow an amendment to the plaint, which clarified the nature of the trust, and ruled that when charitable payments exhaust the income of the property, it indicates an intention to devote the entire income to charity. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower courts' findings.
