Charitable status under section 2(15) turned on the manner of application of income read with the stated objects in the memorandum of association. The High Court found no rational basis to treat the deployment of ex-servicemen as security guards as a separate business activity, since the Commissioner had accepted the other income-generating activities as aligned with the main objects.

The Tribunal's conclusion that the institution was charitable and entitled to registration was therefore left undisturbed, and the appeal was dismissed.
