Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed whether a premises used as a 'Dharamsala' for 125 years can be inferred to belong to a public trust under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court held that the dedication of the property to public use by Raj Kumar Bir Singh did create a trust, and the subsequent transactions by Jagat Bahadur Singh were invalid as they misappropriated trust property. The appeal was allowed, affirming the lower court's ruling that the property was indeed a public trust.
