29. Clearly therefore the plaintiff, Jitendra Nath was neither a Trustee nor the first beneficiary of the family Trust. The intention of the settlor is clear from the statement made by him in the deed of 1961 as follows:-

34. It follows from the above that regardless of the claims and assertions of the heirs of the settlor or testator, the persons made beneficiaries under a family arrangement would be entitled to thwart every attempt to unsettle the arrangement. Courts are to interpret the terms of a family arrangement to ensure peace amongst the family members and give effect to its objects. The principles of special equity must be applied to interpret and enforce family arrangements. Courts are required to take a liberal approach in giving effect to mandates under family arrangements.

64. The finding of the Trial judge that Uma Rani could not demonstrate that she had contributed to the acquisition of the Trust property, is not only baseless but also not germane to the main issues in the suit. In the Trust deed of 1961 itself the settlor, Prafulla, husband of the beneficiary sole trustee has stated that his wife contributed to the purchase of the Trust properties from her Stridhan.

These findings of the Trial Court and unnecessary discussion on and requirements of producing purchase receipts of the said Stridhan indicate a complete digression from the main issues at hand. IX.
