Sarvedshak Arya Pratinidhi Sabha vs Ranjit Singh & Sons on 19 December, 1973
10. Ld. Counsel for the appellant has also heavily relied
upon Sarvedshk Arya Pratinidhi Sabha Vs Ranjit Singh &
Sons (supra). Here, the court has held as under:-
Section 14 in The Delhi Rent Act, 1995 [Entire Act]
Birdhi Chand Jain Charitable Trust vs Kanhaiya Lal Sham Lal on 4 September, 1972
16. Coming back to the facts of the present case here the
appellants have specifically stated through testimony of PW-1
that it is a trust looking after the Jain temple, whose reputation is
all over the world and people from all parts of the world visit the
temple due to its religious importance and the trust always
remain short of the accommodation to be provided to its devotees
and tourists and have to accommodate them to hotels, guest
houses and dharamshalas situated elsewhere. The respondent
being ex-parte, the claim and testimony of appellant goes
unrebutted. For deciding this case, as held in Birdhi Chand Jain
Charitable Trust Vs Kanhaiya Lal Sham Lal (supra), it is its
work and place in the society that is the hallmark of an
institution. In view of the unrebutted testimony of PW-1 there is
no reasonable doubt that on the basis of the work being done by
the appellant and the purpose for which the subject property is
required, the appellant is a public institution. The Ld. Trial Court
erred in holding the appellant to be a private institution on the
basis of Ex.PW1/C, without appreciating the work being done by
the appellant and the purpose for which they sought to get the
subject property evicted.

Mahant Shri Srinivasa Ramanuj Das vs Surajnarayan Dass & Anr on 6 May, 1966
11. The plea of the appellant is that it is a religious
endowment belonging to Jain Swaitamna Murti Poojak Khartar
Guoch Sect engaged in religious and charitable activities in the
name of Sh. Jain Swaitamna Temples. It is further submitted that
appellant had filed the eviction petition as appellant trust always
remains short of the accommodation for its devotees and tourists
and thus in need of the tenanted premises for its own bonafide
use. As observed by the Court in Mahant Shri Srinivas
Ramanuj Das v. Surajnaryaan Dass & Anr. (supra) in a
public trust the beneficiaries of the trust are the people in general
or some section of the people, while in the case of a private trust
the beneficiaries are an ascertained body of persons.
