Only on the ground of mere apprehension, the registration could not be withdrawn. Accordingly, the order of the Tribunal allowing the appeal was upheld. The relevant observations read thus;- "19. The objects of the trust can be had from the bye-laws or the deed of trust, as the case may be and unless, of course, the objects of the trust apparently make out that they were not in consonance with the public policy or that they were not the objects of any charitable purpose, registration cannot be refused accordingly on this ground. 20.
