Issues: Whether the Court had jurisdiction to entertain and proceed with a suit for administration of a charitable trust, removal and appointment of trustees, and ancillary reliefs, when some trust property was within the Court's territorial limits but the trust was administered abroad and the trustees were non-resident foreigners.
Analysis: Jurisdiction under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure depends on the existence within jurisdiction of the whole or any part of the subject-matter of the trust. That statutory test is independent of the place where the cause of action arose or the residence of the trustees. Clause 12 of the Letters Patent cannot cut down the specific jurisdiction conferred by Section 92. While a Court may be unable to grant personal directions against non-resident foreigners or to interfere with the administration of a foreign charity beyond its territorial reach, that does not mean it lacks jurisdiction to entertain the suit when some trust property is situate within its jurisdiction. The distinction between power to entertain the suit and power to grant every relief claimed is material.
Conclusion: The Court had jurisdiction to proceed with the trial of the suit as framed.
