Mahaboob Saheb And Ors. vs Mahaboob Saheb, Son Of Paravati Chinna ... on 7 November, 1946
I have also been referred to a ruling of the Full Bench in C. Thiruvengada Mudaliar v. M. Rajabathar Mudaliar (1941) 2 M.L.J. 35 : I.L.R. 1941 Mad. 942 (F.B.) which is however not directly on the point now before me, but the learned Chief Justice in that decision observes at page 946,
For the purpose of appreciating the provisions of the Religious Endowments Act, 1863, it will be useful to refer first to the Madras Endowments' and Escheats Regulation, 1817, which governed religious endowments in the Presidency until the passing of the Act of 1863 by the Government of India.
