The founder had executed two deeds - the first appointing male descendants as shebaits, and a second deed attempting to restrict succession to sons from his second wife only. The HC held that the founder could not alter the succession rules laid down in the original dedication deed without express reservation of such power. Consequently, all heirs were entitled to act as shebaits under ordinary succession law. However, one defendant was removed from shebaitship due to proven misconduct including beating his father and misappropriating deity property. Both appeals were dismissed. en-us Wed, 05 Jun 1946 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 08 Jul 2025 11:53:11 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=462658 The HC ruled on two appeals arising from a suit regarding shebaitship succession.
