Summarize the following court judgment. ivil Appeal No. 871 of 1962. Appeal by special leave from the judgment and decree dated August 13	 1959	 of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in Second Appeal No. 294 of 1959. S.P. Sinha and M. 1. Khowaja	 for the appellant. S.T. Desai and A. G. Ratnaparkhi	 for the respondent. This appeal arises from a suit filed by the appellants who are the representatives of residents of Nayapara Ward in particular and of the Muslim community of Raipur in general	 in which they claimed an injunction restraining the respondent	 Municipal Committee of Raipur	 from committing acts of encroachment on their rights and the rights of 301 the Muslim community in holding Urs and other ceremonies on the plot in suit. It appears that at Raipur	 there is a piece of land called "Fazle Karim 's Bada" Khasra No. 649 measuring 4.62 acres. Inside this Bada	 there are three or four Municipal Schools. The office of the Electric Power House is also located in one corner of the land. Behind the School	 there is a Pakka platform known as "Syed Baba 's Mazar". Near the Electric Power House	 there is a raised earth platform on which there is a flag. This flag is called "Madar Sahib 's Jhanda". Surrounding this land. there is a brick wall which was made by the respondent several years past. According to the plaint	 Urs function is held every year in front of Syed Baba 's Mazar for the last several years. On or about the 22nd October	 1956	 the employees of the respondent started digging foundation at the places A	 B	 C and D shown on the map attached to the plaint. These digging operations were commenced under the directions of the respondent. because the respondent intended to construct another school building on the plot. The appellants then served a notice on the respondent to desist from carrying on the digging operations on the ground that the property on which the said operations were being carried out	 was a part of the wakf property. When the respondent did not comply with the requisition contained in the said notice	 the present suit was filed by the appellants on October 29	 1956. This suit has been flied under O.1 r. 8 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The case of the appellants is that the plot of land in suit was old Kabrasthan known as "Chuchu 's Takia"	 and is a permanent inalienable wakf property. On this plot are tombs of renowned saints like Syed Baba. and Madar Sahib 's Jhanda. On a part of the plot. every year Urs and other religious functions are performed. In fact	 the land has been registered under the Madhya Pradesh Public Trusts Act (No. 30 of 1951) (hereinafter called the Act) as trust property; as such	 the respondent can claim no right or title to the said land. That is the basis on which the appellants claimed injunction against the respondent. The respondent disputed this claim. It was urged in the written statement filed by the respondent that the land was never and could never be wakf property. There was no tomb on the land. There are only two so called tombs. but they have no significance. The Urs is of very recent origin and it is allowed to be held with the licence of the respondent. The plot originally	 belonged to private persons and had been acquired by the Government in land acquisition proceedings in 1910 11. The respondent got the said land from the Government in 1922. In 1932 33. the Deputy Commissioner fixed rent of the land which is being paid by the respondent eversince. On this land	 the respondent has constructed some schools	 and a part of the land which is lying vacant is allowed to be used by the people of the neighbourhood for traffic. The respondent thus has full right to 302 construct on its own plot of land. The representative character of the appellants was disputed by the respondent and their right to file the present suit was challenged. On these pleadings	 several. issues were framed by the learned trial Judge. They covered the title of appellants	 the title of the respondent	 and the right of the appellants to file the suit. The issue with which we are concerned in the present appeal related to the registration of the plot in the register kept under the relevant provisions of the Act and its effect. The appellants ' contention was that the said registration was conclusive against the respondent and in favour of the appellants ' claim. This contention was rejected by the trial Judge	 with the result that the appellants ' suit was dismissed. With the findings recorded by the learned trial Judge on the other issues we are not concerned in the present appeal. The matter then went in appeal. and the appellate Court confirmed the conclusions recorded by the trial Court and dismissed the appeal. The appellants challenged the correctness of the said appellate decree by preferring a second appeal in the High Court of Madhya Pradesh. but the second appeal also failed. and that has brought the appellants to this Court by special leave. Thus. it would be noticed that the appellants have failed on the merits of their claim in all the courts below. and the technical point raised by them that the registration of the plot under the relevant provisions of the Act concluded the matter. has also been rejected. It is this last point which has been urged before us by Mr. Sinha on behalf of the appellants. Before we deal with this point. however	 it would be relevant to mention how the property came to be entered in the register kept under the relevant provisions of the Act. The record shows that the Masjid Nayapara. Raipur had been entered in the register as a public trust on June 25. 1954 in Case No. 23XXXiii/7 of 1952 53. certain properties were entered in the said register in respect of this trust. In 1956. Abdul Karim. Mutawali Masjid Naypara Raipur applied to the SubDivisional Officer. Raipur alleging that the property now in suit also belonged to the public trust and should be included amongst its properties. On this application	 public notice was issued calling upon persons interested in the property to show cause why it should not be added to the properties of the wakf. No objection was. however. received and on October 23. the Sub Divisional Officer reported that the poperty be shown against the trust. The said report was sanctioned by the Registrar. Public Trusts on April 22. That is how the property came to be registered as belonging to the public trust. and it is on this entry that the whole argument of the appellants is based. In considering the validity of the contention raised by Mr. Sinha before us. it is necessary to examine broadly the scheme 303 of the Act and the material provisions on which Mr. Sinha relies. The Act was passed in 1951 to regulate and to make better provision for the administration of public religious and charitable trusts in the State of Madhya Pradesh. Section 2(4) of the Act defines a "public trust"	 and section 2(8) defines a "wakf". 'Working trustee ' is defined by section 2(9). Section 3(1) provides that the Deputy Commissioner shall be the Registrar of public trusts in respect of every public trust; and section 3(2) imposes on the Registrar the obligation to maintain a register of public trusts	 and such other books and registers and in such form as may be prescribed. Section 4(1) deals with the registration of public trusts and in requires that within three months from the date on which the said section comes into force in any area or from the date on which a public trust is created	 whichever is later	 the working trustee of every public trust shall apply to the Registrar having jurisdiction for the registration of the public trust. Section 4(3) lays down the particulars which have to be stated by the application which is required to be made under section 4(1). All these particulars are in relation to the nature of the trust	 its properties	 the mode of succession to the office of the trustees	 and other allied matters. Section 4(4) empowers the Registrar to decide the merits of the application	 while section 4(5) provides for an appeal against his decision which is required to be filed within 30 days of the order. Mr. Sinha relies on a specific provision contained in section 4(5) which says that subject to the decision in such appeal. the order of the Registrar under sub section (4) shall be final. Section 4(6) requires the signing and verification of the application in the manner laid down in the code of Civil Procedure for signing and verifying plaints. That takes us to section 5 which deals with the enquiry to be held by the Registrar on the application made before him under section 4(1). Eight points are set down under section 5(1) which the Registrar has to consider. Section 5(2) lays down that the Registrar shall give in the prescribed manner public notice of the inquiry proposed to be made under sub section (1) and invite all persons interested in the public trust under inquiry to prefer objections	 if any	 in respect of such trust. Under section 6	 the Registrar has to make his findings on the point specified by section 5(1); and under section 7	 the Registrar causes entries to be made in the Register in accordance with his findings. Section 7(2) naturally lays down that the entries made under section 7(1) shall be final and conclusive. Section 8(1) allows a civil suit to be filed against the findings of the Registrar within six months from the date of the publication of the notice under section 7(2); such a suit can be filed by a working trustee or a person having interest in a public trust or any property found to be trust property. Section 9 permits applications to be made for change in the entries recorded in the register. It will be recalled that the application which was made in 1956 by Abdul Karim was under the provisions of section 9(1). If an application is made for change in 304 the entries as	 far instance	 for adding to the list of properties belonging to the trust	 a proceeding has to be taken for making the said change and this is prescribed by section 9(2). Section 9(3) makes the provisions of section 8 applicable to any finding under section 9 as they would apply to a finding under section 6. These provisions are contained in Chapter II of the Act. Chapter III deals with the management of trust property; Ch. IV with the problem of audit; Ch. V with control; and Ch. VI contains miscellaneous provisions	 including section 35 which confers the rule making power on the State Government. That	 broadly stated	 is the nature of the scheme of the Act and the material provisions which fall to be considered in the present appeal. Mr. Sinha relies on the fact that under section 4(5) of the Act	 the decision of the Registrar is made final	 subject to the appellate decision	 if any; and he also refers to the right of instituting a suit reserved by section 8. His argument is that if any person who claims interest in the property which is alleged to be trust property fails to satisfy the Registrar about his claim	 he can file a suit under section 8(1). Section 8(1) allows a suit to be filed	 subject to the conditions prescribed by it	 and the right to file such a suit is given to a working trustee	 or a person having interest in a public trust or any property found to be trust property. The respondent is interested in the property in suit which is found to be trust property	 and since it did not avail itself of the right to file a suit within the specified time	 the order passed by the Registrar must be held to be final and conclusive against its claim. If finality does not attach to such an order even after six months have expired within the meaning of section 8(1)	 then the provision contained in section 4(5) will serve no purpose whatever. That is the manner in which Mr. Sinha has presented his case before us. We are not impressed by this argument. In testing the validity of this argument	 we must bear in mind the important fact that the Act is concerned with the registration of public	 religious and charitable trusts in the State of Madhya Pradesh	 and the enquiry which its relevant provisions contemplate is an enquiry into the question as to whether the trust in question is public or private. The enquiry permitted by the said provisions does not take within its sweep questions as to whether the property belongs to a private individual and is not the subject matter of any trust at all. It cannot be ignored that the Registrar who	 no doubt	 is given the powers of a civil court under section 28 of the Act	 holds a kind of summary enquiry and the points which can fall within his jurisdiction are indicated by clauses (i) to (x) of section 4(3). Therefore	 prima facie. it appears unreasonable to suggest that contested questions of title	 such as those which have arisen in the present case	 can be said to fall within the enquiry which the Registrar is authorised to hold under section 5 of the Act. Besides	 it is significant that the only persons who are required to file their objections in response to a notice issued by the 305 Registrar on receiving an application made under section 4(1)	 are persons interested in the public trust not persons who dispute the existence of the trust or who challenge the allegation that any property belongs to the said trust. It is only persons interested in the public trust	 such as beneficiaries or others who claim a right to manage the trust	 who can file objections	 and it is objections of this character proceeding from persons belonging to this limited class that fall to be considered by the Registrar. It cannot be said that the respondent falls within this class; and so	 it would be idle to contend that it was the duty of the respondent to have filed objections under section 3(2). It is true	 section 8(1) permits a suit to be filed by a person having interest in the public trust or any preperty found to be trust property. The interest to which this section refers must be read in the light of section 5(2)to be the interest of a beneficiary or the interest of a person who claims the right to maintain the trust or any other interest of a similar character. It is not the interest which is adverse to the trust set up by a party who does not claim any relation with the trust at all. That is why we think the finality on which Mr. Sinha 's argument is based cannot avail him against the respondent inasmuch the respondent was not a party to the proceedings and could not have filed any objections in the said proceedings. Then again	 the right to file a suit to which section 8(1) refers is given to persons who are aggrieved by any finding of the Registrar. Having regard to the fact that the proceedings before the Registrar are in the nature of proceedings before a civil court	 it would be illogical to hold that the respondent who was not a party to the proceedings can be said to be aggrieved by the findings of the Registrar. The normal judicial concept of a person aggrieved by any order necessarily postulates that the said person must be a party to the proceedings in which the order was passed and by which he feels aggrieved. It is unnecessary to emphasise that it would be plainly unreasonable to assume that though a person is not a party to the proceedings and cannot participate in them by way of filing objections	 he would still be bound to file a suit within the period prescribed by section 8(1) if the property in which he claims an exclusive title is held by the Registrar to belong to a public trust. Similarly	 the right to prefer an appeal against the Registrar 's order prescribed by section 4(5) necessarily implies that the person must be a party to the proceedings before the Registrar; otherwise how would he know about the order? Like section 8(1)	 section 4(5) also seems to be confined in its operation to persons who are before the Registrar	 or who could have appeared before the Registrar under section 5(2). The whole scheme is clear	 the Registrar enquires into the question as to whether a trust is private or public	 306 and deals with the points specifically enumerated by section 4(3). Therefore	 we have no hesitation in holding that the courts below were right in coming to the conclusion that the fact that the property now in suit was added to the list of properties belonging to the wakf	 cannot affect the respondent 's title to it. On the merits	 all the courts below have rejected the appellants ' case and have upheld the pleas raised by the respondent in defence. The result is	 the appeal fails and is dismissed with costs. Appeal dismissed.

The first appellant	 who was the Mutawalli of a public trust	 filed a representative suit for an injunction restraining the respondent from committing acts of encroachment on the suit property	 on the ground that the property was that of the trust and had been so registered by the Registrar of Public Trusts	 under the Madhya Pradesh Public Trusts Act	 1951. The suit was dismissed by the trial court and also on appeal. In their appeal to the Supreme Court the appellants contended that	 since the respondent did not avail itself of the 	right to file a suit within the specified time	 the order passed by the Registrar must be held to be final and conclusive against the respondent. HELD: The fact that the property in suit was added to the list of the properties belonging to the trust	 could not affect the respondent 's title to it. [306 A B] The enquiry which the Act contemplates is an enquiry into the question as to whether a trust is public or private and does not take within its sweep questions as to whether a property belongs to a private individual and is not the subject matter of any trust at all. The only persons who are required to file their objections in proceedings before the Registrar are persons interested in the public trust not persons who dispute the existence of the trust or who challenge the allegation that any property belongs to the said trust. Inasmuch as the respondent was not a party to the proceedings and could not have filed any objections in the proceedings the respondent was not bound to file an appeal under section 4(5) of the Act or a suit under section 8(1)	 challenging order of the Registrar. Therefore	 the finality given to the finding of the Registrar could not be availed of by the appellant as against the respondent. [304 G; 305 A B	 D E]
