#constructive trust

The Bombay High Court set aside the allotment of flats to Jet Speed Developers' directors by Le Chateau Co-operative Housing Society, declaring it illegal. It directed the society to allot those flats to the member-petitioners within six weeks after they pay construction costs.

The Allahabad High Court held that a centuries-old public temple, though lacking formal trust deeds, qualifies as a public religious trust under Section 92 CPC, with constructive trust established through long-standing public use and revenue records. This ruling empowers community custodians to seek judicial protection against private encroachment, reinforcing that public religious property cannot be claimed through mere possession or familial succession.
