Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 92(1)(f) of the Code of Civil Procedure, a scheme for the management of a religious endowment can include provisions for modification by the court. The Court ruled that the District Judge had jurisdiction to direct the sale of trust property as it fell within the ordinary administration of trust property and did not violate Section 92(1)(f). The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the directions sought were valid under the scheme's provisions.
