The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Will executed by Sundararaja Naidu created a public Trust under Section 64 of the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act, 1959. The Court clarified that the pious acts specified in the Will, including the performance of poojas and feeding during religious festivals, constitute public charitable activities. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's modification of the Commissioner's order to frame a scheme for the public Trust's charitable activities.
