On a careful reading of the above quoted paragraphs of the trustdeed it is not possible to cull-out in clear terms a specific charitable/religious object to conclude that the trust was set up wholly for charitable or religious purposes. The "religious, charitable, cultural and social"

purposes referred to in the deed are not avowed as the objectives of the trust itself. What the founder of the trust intended to convey was that the building to be constructed out of the funds provided by her and supplemented from other sources, must be held for the benefit of the public for being used by them for religious, charitable, cultural or social purposes. We cannot read the contents of above quoted paragraphs as the objects of the trust, these are only the objects of those who wish to put the trust property to use. On a careful consideration of the language of the trust deed, we are of the view that the intention of the founder was to provide a building for the benefit of the public to be used by them for religious, charitable and/or cultural and social purposes. It is no where stated in the trust deed that the trust itself has been created for the purpose of carrying out any of such objectives. The holding and conducting of religious discourses and the running of schools for the development of Sanskrit have also been mentioned from the point of view of the users of the trust property. These are some of the purposes for which the public can be permitted to use the property.
