A village belongs to a Hindu family. A, one of its members, pays nazrana to Government and thereby procures his name to be entered as the inamdar of the village. Under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, for whose benefit does A hold the village?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 90 applies to a co-owner who gains an advantage "in derogation of the rights of the other persons interested in the property". Illustration (b) to section 90 states that "A holds the village for the benefit of himself and the other members." Under section 90 the others must bear their due share of the expenses he properly incurred in gaining the advantage, such as the nazrana.
