S.A.No.236 of 2013
SCC 96. Applying the said principle to this case, in order to claim that
the property belongs to the temple, the temple should have shown a
complete dedication in favour of the public charitable trust, namely the
temple itself. In this particular case, as I have already pointed out,
though the Inam Fare Register states, as found in the S.T.A. Proceedings,
that the property belongs to Thriumeni Chetti Dharmam, the questions of
when the Dharmam was created and what are the terms of the Dharmam
had not been answered through evidence.
