Religious and charitable endowments

— Public or private — Relevant determining factors — In this case High Court while taking the view that the endowment was of private nature, failed to consider the effect of its order to the contrary in an earlier related writ petition as also effect of respondent's submission, written statement and prayer in the writ petition (out of which present appeal arose) asserting that it was of public nature — Hence case remanded to High Court, (2006) 7 SCC 490
