C.GANGACHARAN vs C. NARAYANAN

The Supreme Court held that the appellant was the beneficial owner of the properties purchased by the respondent using funds sent from abroad, as established under Section 82 of the Indian Trusts Act. The Court found that the respondent acted as a trustee and that the Benami Transactions (Prohibition of the Right to Recover Property) Ordinance, 1988 did not apply to the case. The Court upheld the decree for possession in favor of the appellant, rejecting the respondent's objections based on the Ordinance.
