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.
