Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court, affirming that the property in question is not subject to any public or charitable trust under the Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1951. The Court emphasized that the order made under Section 77 of the Act, which declared the property not subject to public charity, had attained finality as no appeal was filed against it. The Court held that the trial court's findings were correct and the plaintiffs' claims were barred by the finality of the administrative order under the Act.
