1. This Judgment shall govern disposal of both the aforesaid appeals as common questions of law are involved in both these appeals.

No. 136/91 arises out of the judgment and decree dated 25.7.91 passed in Civil Suit No. 2-A/80 by the 1st Additional District, Shajapur. Both the suits were filed for recovery of certain immovable properties by the appellant/United Church of Northern India Trust Association, a public trust registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950 (for short, 'the Act 1950') and having its registered office at Bombay.
