What the Court ordered

We hold that while the High Court was right in its view that the properties covered by the deed dated 21.9.1953 were required to be brought to charge under Section 12(J), we are unable to agree with the reasoning of, and the conclusion reached by, the High Court in regard to the properties covered by.the deed dated 4.10.1953.
