Court's Decision & Legal Precedent
Hindu religious institutions and endowments are specifically exempted from the application of Section 92 and Section 93 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 under Section 5(e) of the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959. Therefore, a suit filed by a Hindu religious institution for recovery of trust properties is maintainable and not barred by the procedural requirements of Section 92 CPC, provided the institution is genuinely a Hindu religious institution performing religious functions.
On this section: Section 93 relates to the procedure for suits concerning trusts. Like Section 92, it is exempted for Hindu religious institutions by the Tamil Nadu Act 1959.
