Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the State Government's orders under Sections 3 and 4 of the Charitable Endowments Act, 1890, which vested the appellant's property in the Treasurer of Charitable Endowments, U.P. The Court ruled that the appellant's argument regarding the lack of a speaking order was addressed by the High Court's acceptance of supplementary affidavits providing necessary reasons and materials. The Court affirmed that the Charitable Endowments Act applied to the appellant despite its claims of being a purely religious institution.
