The learned counsel Mr. Arpit Bhoot appearing for the appellants-defendants-Ramesh Chandra submitted that a substantial question of law arises in the present case requiring consideration by this Court in the present second appeal filed under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure read with Section 103 of the Code of Civil Procedure about the jurisdiction of the learned trial Court to deal with the present suit, as the Trust in question was not a registered Public Trust under the provisions of the Rajasthan Public Trust Act, 1959 and, therefore, the present suit was not maintainable and since the present suit was not fulfilling the requirements of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure, therefore, the said substantial question of law was required to be decided in favour of the appellants-defendants and the suit for possession could not be decreed.
He also submitted that the Trust in question was bound to be registered under the provisions of Rajasthan Public Trust Act and, therefore, in view of the admitted position that the trust was not so registered, the question of maintainability of the suit goes to the root of the matter and in view of Section 103 of the Code of Civil Procedure even if these questions are not raised before the Courts below, he sought to raise before this Court at this stage. He relied upon the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the cases of Shehla Burney (Dr.) & Ors. v. Syed Ali Mossa Raza (Dead) by LRs & Ors., (2011) 6 SCC 529 , Jagmittar Sain Bhagat & Ors. v. Director, Health Services, Haryana & Ors., (2013) 10 SCC 136 and Municipal Committee, Hoshiarpur v. Punjab State Electricity Board & Ors., (2010) 13 SCC 216 . 6. Per contra, the learned counsel Mr. Rajesh Parihar appearing for the respondent-plaintiff-decree-holder submitted that no substantial question of law arises in the present case and the concurrent findings recorded by the both the Courts below about the original defendant Ramesh Chandra and now his Legal Representatives having no right to continue in the possession of the house in question belonging to the Padha Mataji Temple Trust and the suit in question was rightly tried and decided by the learned trial Court while dealing with the issues regarding jurisdiction of the Court and the issues now sought to be raised by the learned counsel for the appellants-defendants at this stage have already been dealt with the Courts below and the same issues have been decided in favour of the plaintiffs-respondents based on sound reason and legal position. He relied upon the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the cases of Bishwanath & Anr. v. Sri Thakur Radha Ballabhji & Ors., AIR 1967 SC 1044 . The relevant portion of the discussion made by the Hon'ble Supreme Court with regard to suit under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure in para 7 of the judgment is reproduced herein below for ready reference:-- "7. It is settled law that to invoke Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 3.
The relevant portion of the discussion made by the Hon'ble Supreme Court with regard to suit under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure in para 7 of the judgment is reproduced herein below for ready reference:-- "7. It is settled law that to invoke Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 3. conditions have to be satisfied, namely : (i) the trust is created for public purposes of a charitable or religious nature : (ii) there was a breach of trust or a direction of Court is necessary in the administration of such a trust, and (iii) the relief claimed is one or other of the reliefs enumerated therein. If any of the 3 condition is not satisfied, the suit falls outside the scope of the said section. A suit by an idol for a declaration of its title to property and for possession of the same from the defendant, who is in possession thereof under a void alienation, is not one of the reliefs found in Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure. That a suit for declaration that a property belongs to a trust is held to fall outside the scope of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure by the Privy Council in Abdur Rahim v. Abu Mahomed Barkat Ali, (, 55 Ind App 96 : AIR 1928 PC 16 ) , and by this Court in Pragdasji Guru Bhagwandasji v. Ishwarlalbhai Narsibhai, 1952 SCR 513 : ( AIR 1952 SC 143 ) , on the ground that a relief for declaration is not one of the reliefs enumerated in Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure, So too, for the same reason a suit for a declaration that certain properties belong to a trust and for possession thereof from the alienee has also been held to be not covered by the provisions of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure: See Mukhda Mannudas Bairagi v. Chagan Kisan Bhawasar, (, ILR (1957 Bom 809: AIR 1959 Bom 491 ). Other decisions have reached the same result on a different ground namely, that such a suit is one for the enforcement of a private right.
Other decisions have reached the same result on a different ground namely, that such a suit is one for the enforcement of a private right. It was held that a suit by an idol as a juristic person against persons who interfered unlawfully with the property of the idol was a suit for enforcement of its private right and was, therefore, not a suit to which Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure applied: See ( Darshan Lal v. Shibji Maharaj Birajman, (, ILR 45 All 215 : AIR 1923 All 120) : and Madhavrao Anandrao v. Shri Omkareshvar Ghat, 31 Bom LR 192, AIR 1929 Bom 153. The present suit is filed by the idol for possession of its property from the person who is in illegal possession thereof and, therefore, it is a suit by the idol to enforce its private right. The suit also is for a declaration of the plaintiffs title and for possession thereof and is, therefore, not a suit for one of the reliefs mentioned in Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure. In either view, this is a suit outside the purview of Section 92 of the said Code and, therefore, the said section is not a bar to its maintainability." 7. The learned counsel Mr. Rajesh Parihar for the plaintiffs-respondents also contended that since no specific pleadings were made by the defendant regarding maintainability of the suit before the learned trial Court, therefore, the objection now sought to be raised by the learned counsel for the defendants on the anvil of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure regarding registration of the Public Trust, could not be permitted to be raised by the defendants at this stage now in the present second appeal and emphasising for proper and categorical pleadings in the suit and the written statement of the defendant before the learned trial Court, such type of objection cannot be raised. To support the aforesaid contention, the learned counsel Mr. Rajesh Parihar relied upon the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Bachhaj Nahar v. Nilima Mandal & Anr., 2009 (1) Apex Court judgments 656 (SC). The relevant portion of the discussion made by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in para 9 and 10 of its judgment is reproduced herein below for ready reference:-- "9.
Rajesh Parihar relied upon the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Bachhaj Nahar v. Nilima Mandal & Anr., 2009 (1) Apex Court judgments 656 (SC). The relevant portion of the discussion made by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in para 9 and 10 of its judgment is reproduced herein below for ready reference:-- "9. The object and purpose of pleadings and issues is to ensure that the litigants come to trial with all issues clearly defined and to prevent cases being expanded or grounds being shifted during trial. Its object is also to ensure that each side is fully alive to the questions that are likely to be raised or considered so that they may have an opportunity of placing the relevant evidence appropriate to the issues before the Court for its consideration. This Court has repeatedly held that the pleadings are meant to give to each side intimation of the case of the other so that it may be met, to enable Courts to determine what is realty at issue between the parties, and to prevent any deviation from the course which litigation on particular causes must take. 10. The object of issues is to identify from the pleadings the questions or points required to be decided by the Courts so as to enable parties to let in evidence thereon. When the facts necessary to make out a particular claim, or to seek a particular relief, are not found in the plaint, the Court cannot focus the attention of the parties, or its own attention on that claim or relief, by framing an appropriate issue. As a result the defendant does not get an opportunity to place the facts and contentions necessary to repudiate or challenge such a claim or relief. Therefore, the Court cannot, on finding that the plaintiff has not made out the case put forth by him, grant some other relief. The question before a Court is not whether there is some material on the basis of which some relief can be granted. The question is whether any relief can be granted, when the defendant had no opportunity to show that the relief proposed by the Court could not be granted.
The question before a Court is not whether there is some material on the basis of which some relief can be granted. The question is whether any relief can be granted, when the defendant had no opportunity to show that the relief proposed by the Court could not be granted. When there is no prayer for a particular relief and no pleadings to support such a relief and when defendant has no opportunity to resist or oppose such a relief, if the Court considers and grants such a relief, it will lead to miscarriage of justice. Thus it is said that no amount of evidence, on a plea that is not put forward in the pleadings, can be looked into to grant any relief" 8. The learned counsel Mr. Rajesh Parihar appearing for the plaintiffs-respondents also submitted that the objections and issues were even sought to be raised by the defendants by filing an amendment application under Order 6, Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure before the learned trial Court below have failed even up to this Court as mentioned in the findings recorded by the learned First Appellate Court, while dismissing the first appeal filed by the defendant. The learned counsel Mr. Arpit Bhoot appearing for the appellants-defendants does not dispute this position. 9. I have heard the learned counsels for the parties at length and perused the records of the case including the judgments cited by the learned counsels at bar. 10. This Court is of the clear and considered opinion that the questions sought to be raised by the learned counsel Mr. Arpit Bhoot appearing for the appellants-defendants even though might be questions of law arising from the orders of the Courts below but they are neither the substantial questions of law nor they can be said to be such questions going to the root of the matter in the present second appeal filed under Section 100 read with Section 103 of the Code of Civil Procedure at this stage. 11.
11. Firstly, this Court is convinced that the present suit filed before the learned trial Court by the Trustees of the Padha Mataji Temple Trust on behalf of the idol or the persons interested in the trust property seeking possession of the house in question illegally in possession of the defendant-Ramesh Chandra was not a suit falling within the ambit and scope of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure is quoted herein below for ready reference:-- "92. Public charities.--(1) In the case of any alleged breach of any express or constructive trust created for public purposes of a charitable or religious nature, or where the direction of the Court is deemed necessary for the administration of any such trust, the Advocate-General or two or more persons having an interest in the trust and having obtained the [leave of the Court,] may institute a suit, whether contentious or not in the principal Civil Court of original Jurisdiction or in any other Court empowered in that behalf by the State Government within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the whole or any part of the subject-matter of the trust is situated to obtain a decree-- (a) removing any trustee: (b) appointing a new trustee: (c) vesting any property in a trustee: [(cc) directing a trustee who has been removed or a person who has ceased to be a trustee, to deliver possession of any trust property in his possession to the person entitled and inquiries: (d) directing accounts and inquiries: (e) declaring what proportion of the trust property or of the interest therein shall be allocated to any particular object of the trust. (f) authorising the whole or any part of the trust property to be let, sold, mortgaged or exchanged: (g) settling a scheme: or (h) granting such further or other relief as the nature of the case may require. 2................................................................................................ 3................................................................................................" 12.
(f) authorising the whole or any part of the trust property to be let, sold, mortgaged or exchanged: (g) settling a scheme: or (h) granting such further or other relief as the nature of the case may require. 2................................................................................................ 3................................................................................................" 12. From the bare perusal of the aforesaid Section, it is very much clear that Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure deals with alleged breach of any express or constructive trust created for public purposes of charitable or religious nature or where the direction of the Court is deemed necessary for the administration of any such trust and then, the locus has been vested with the Advocate-General or with two or more persons having an interest but they are required to obtain the leave of the Court for instituting such suit. It is further clear from the bare reading of the aforesaid Section, that the suit filed, either by the Advocate-General or two or more persons, can be for specific purposes only as mentioned in Clause (1) of the said Section 92. It is noticed that Clause (cc) inserted by the Act No. 66 of 1956, a suit can be filed for directing a trustee who has been removed or a person who has been ceased to be a trustee, to deliver possession of any trust property in his possession to the person entitled to the possession of such property. 13. The Hon'ble Supreme Court, dealing with a case, namely Bishwanath & Anr. v. Sri Thakur Radha Ballabhji & Ors., reported in, AIR 1967 SC 1044 , while giving reference to various other rulings given by the Privy Council and other judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, has clearly laid down that suit for possession filed by the idol through persons interested in such property is a suit to enforce his private rights and it does no fall within the ambit and scope of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure. This case law settles the legal position beyond any pale of doubt and squarely applies to the facts of the present case and, therefore, there is little force in the contention raised by the learned counsel for the appellants-defendants Mr. Arpit Bhoot that suit having not been filed after duly complying with the requirements of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure is required to be rejected.
Arpit Bhoot that suit having not been filed after duly complying with the requirements of Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure is required to be rejected. Therefore, this contention of the learned counsel for the appellants-defendants is liable to be rejected and the same is accordingly is rejected 14. Coming to the next contention about the bar of Section 29 of the Rajasthan Public Trust Act. 1959 to be applied against the present suit, the answer has to be again in negative and against the defendants. The reason is simple that the Trust in question is not a registered Public Trust under the provisions of Rajasthan Public Trust Act, 1959. There is no mandatory requirement that every trust is required to be compulsorily registered under the provisions contained in the Rajasthan Public Trust Act. 1959 requiring that such temple, trusts and the properties of deity, being dealt with by a trust are mandatory required to the registered under the provisions of Rajasthan Public Trust Act. 1959. The definition of the 'Public Trust" as defined in Clause (11) of Section 2, the definition of "Temple" as defined in Clause (16) of Section 2 read with Chapter V containing Sections 16 to 18 about registration of such Public Trust do not envisage any such compulsory registration of all the Public Trusts. Besides this, the requirement of trusts having minimum value of properties has to be satisfied and only such trusts can apply for registration under Sections 16 and 17 of the said Act of 1959. The relevant definitions, provisions relating to registration of a Public Trust and Section 29 about bar against civil suits by unregistered Public Trust are reproduced herein below for ready reference:-- "Section 2--Definitions: 11. "Public trust" means an express or constructive trust for either a public, religious or charitable purpose or both and includes a temple, a math, dharmada or any other religious or charitable endowment or institution and a society formed either for a religious or charitable purpose or for both: 13.
"Public trust" means an express or constructive trust for either a public, religious or charitable purpose or both and includes a temple, a math, dharmada or any other religious or charitable endowment or institution and a society formed either for a religious or charitable purpose or for both: 13. "Religious endowment" or "endowment" means all property belonging to or given or endowed for the support of a religious institution or given or endowed for the performance of any service or charity connected therewith and includes the premises of the religious institution as well as the idols, if any installed therein and any public charity associated with a festival or observance of a religious character, whether connected with a religious institution or not, but does not include gifts of property made as personal gifts to the trustee or hereditary trustee or working trustee of such institution or to any service-holder or other employee thereof: 16. "Temple" means a place, by whatever designation known, used as a place of public religious worship and dedicated to or for the benefit of or used as of right by a community or any section thereof as a place of public religious worship" 17. "Trustee" means a person in whom either alone or in association with other persons the trust property is vested and includes a manager: 18. "Working trustee" means any person who, for the time being, either alone or in association with some other person or persons administers the trust property of any public trust and includes the manager of a public trust as well as-- (a) in the case of a math, the head of such math, and (b) in the case of a public trust having its principal office or principal place of business outside the State of Rajasthan the person in charge of the management of the property and administration of the public trust in the State.

(5) Every application made under sub-section (1) shall be signed and verified in accordance with the manner laid down in the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (Central Act V of 1908) for signing and verifying plaints.

(6) No Assistant Commissioner shall proceed with any application for the registration of a public trust in respect of which an application for registration has been filed previously before any other Assistant Commissioner, and the Assistant Commissioner before whom the application was filed first shall decide which Assistant Commissioner shall have jurisdiction to register the public trust (7) An appeal against the order of the Assistant Commissioner before whom the application was filed first, give under sub-section (6) may be filed within sixty days before the Commissioner and, subject to the decision on such appeal, the orders of the Assistant Commissioner under sub-section (6) shall be final, Section 18 - Inquiry for Registration.--(1) On receipt of an application under Sec 17 or upon an application made by any person having interest in a public trust or on his own motion, the Assistant Commissioner shall make an inquiry in the prescribed manner for the purpose of ascertaining: (i) whether a trust exists and whether such trust is a public trust: (ii) whether any property is the property' of such trust; (iii) whether the whole or any substantial portion of the subject matter of the trust is situate within his Jurisdiction: (iv) the names and addresses of the working trustee and the manager of such trust: (v) the mode of succession to the office of the trustee of such trust; (vi) the origin, nature and object of such trust; (vii) the amount of gross average annual income and expenditure of such trust: and (viii) The correctness or otherwise of any other particulars furnished under sub-section (4) of Section 17." (2) The Assistant Commissioner shall give in the prescribed-manner public notice of the inquiry proposed to be made under sub-section (1) and invite all persons having interest in the public trust under inquiry to prefer within sixty days objections, if any, in respect of such trust. Section 19 : Finding of Assistant Commissioner.
Section 19 : Finding of Assistant Commissioner. On completion of the inquiry provided for under Section 18, the Assistant Commissioner shall record his findings with the reasons therefor as to the matters mentioned in the said section. Section 20 : Appeal.--Any working trustee or person having interest in a public trust or in any property found to be trust property aggrieved by a finding of the Assistant Commissioner under Section 19 may, within two months from the date of its publication on the notice board of the Assistant Commissioner, file an appeal before the Commissioner to have such finding set aside or modified. Section 29 : Bar against suits by unregistered trust: (1) No suit to enforce a right on behalf of a public trust which is required to be registered under the Act but has not been so registered shall be heard or decided in any Court. (2) The provisions of sub-section (1) shall apply to a claim of set off or other proceedings to enforce a right on behalf of such public trust." 15. None of the provisions quoted above spells about any such compulsory registration of all the trusts and it is only on the application filed by the Public Trusts falling within the said definitions and fulfilling the requirements of minimum value of trust property and minimum annual income, which upon their application subject of fulfillment of the requirement so stipulated there they can be registered after due inquiry by the Assistant Commissioner under the provisions of the said Act of 1959 and thereafter, they shall be regulated by the relevant provisions of the Act of 1959. The trial Court in the present case, while deciding the issue No. 3 has returned a categoric finding that the trust in question in the present case was not required to be registered under the provisions of the Rajasthan Public Trust Act, 1959 as the property being owned by it was less than the prescribed limit of Rs. 30,000/- and, therefore, the objection regarding registration of the trust in question as raised by the learned counsel Mr. Arpit Bhoot for the appellants-defendants is neither tenable nor legally sustainable much less, requiring any adjudication by framing of a substantial question of law at this stage which contention even though was not raised before the learned Courts below, therefore, the objection fails and is hereby rejected. 16.
Arpit Bhoot for the appellants-defendants is neither tenable nor legally sustainable much less, requiring any adjudication by framing of a substantial question of law at this stage which contention even though was not raised before the learned Courts below, therefore, the objection fails and is hereby rejected. 16. As far as the findings of facts recorded by both the learned Courts below are concerned particularly, the finding, that the defendant Ramesh Chandra had no right to retain the possession of the house in question, they are pure findings of fact and, therefore, this Court cannot upset the same in jurisdiction under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Court {Sic Procedure). It is noticed that the original defendant Ramesh Chandra, who was put in the permissive possession in the house in question by the original Pujari Bhanwar Lal Darji, who himself was a Pujari of the said temple with the clear understanding that within a month or two, he will hand over the vacant possession of the house in question, the said Ramesh Chandra was allowed only temporarily to reside in the said house in question on his request that since he had been ousted from his own house by his mother and in these circumstances, he had no place to live. On such a request, the sad Ramesh Chandra was given only a permissive possession of the house in question but having failed to hand over the vacant possession of the house in question to the trustees or to the persons having interest in the property of the trust, the present suit has been filed on behalf of the idol to enforce its private rights, which suit has been concurrently decreed by the learned two Courts below. In this view of the matter, there is no scope for this Court to interfere with the findings of facts recorded by the Courts below based on sound reasoning and relevant evidence and the same are binding on this Court and in the absence of any perversity in such findings of facts by learned two Courts below, no substantial question of law can be said to be arising for consideration in the present second appeal of the defendant. 17.
17. Accordingly and on the basis of the aforesaid discussion, the present second appeal filed by the legal representatives of the original defendant Ramesh Chandra is devoid of any merit and the same is liable to be dismissed, as no substantial question of law arises out of the judgments of the learned Courts below for consideration by this Court in the present second appeal.
