law: Charitable and Religious Trusts Act ,1920
  5. Procedure on petition
  (1) If the court on receipt of a petition under section 3, after
  
  taking such evidence and making such inquiry, if any, as it may consider
  
  necessary, is of opinion that the trust to which the petition relates is a
  
  trust to which this Act applies, and that the petitioner has an interest
  
  therein, it shall fix a date for the hearing of the petition, and shall cause a
  
  copy thereof, together with notice of the date so fixed, to be served on the
  
  trustee and upon any other person to whom in its opinion notice of the petition
  
  should be given.
  (2) On the date fixed for the hearing of the petition, or on any
  
  subsequent date to which the hearing may be adjourned, the Court shall proceed
  
  to hear the petitioner and the trustee, if he appears, and any other person who
  
  has appeared in consequence of the notice, or who it considers ought to be
  
  heard, and shall make such further inquiries, if any, as it thinks fit. The
  
  trustee may and, if so required by the court, shall at the time of the first
  
  hearing or within such time as the Court may permit present a written statement
  
  of his case. If he does present a written statement, the statement shall be
  
  signed and verified in the manner prescribed by the Code of Civil Procedure,
  
  1908 (5 of 1908), for signing and verifying pleadings.
  (3) If any person appears at the hearing of the petition and
  
  either denies the existence of the trust or denies that it is a trust to which
  
  this Act applies, and undertakes to institute within three months a suit for a
  
  declaration to that effect and for any other appropriate relief, the court
  
  shall order a stay of the proceedings and, if such suit is so instituted, shall
  
  continue the stay until the suit is finally decided.
  (4) If no such undertaking is given, or if after the expiry of
  
  the three months no such suit has been instituted, the Court shall itself
  
  decide the question.
  (5) On completion of the inquiry provided for in sub-section
  
  (2), the Court shall either dismiss the petition or pass thereon such other
  
  order as it thinks fit:
  PROVIDED that, where a suit has been instituted in
  
  accordance with the provisions of sub-section (3), no order shall be passed by
  
  the Court which conflicts with the final decision therein.
  (6) Save as provided in this section, the Court shall not try or
  
  determine any question of title between the petitioner and any person claiming
  
  title adversely to the trust.
