Headnote
SUPREME COURT REPORTS 535 one a part of the other. Two independent institutions legally cannot, Lxcept in the manner known to law, be amalgamated into one institution by developing merely sentimental attachment between them. This argument was rightly rejected by the learned District Judge, and customa.. rily shown to one or other of the parties in these appeals in the temple of Athinathalwar. In the result we hold, agreeing with the District Judge, that the suits were not maintainable in the civil court. The appeals are, therefore, allowed with costs throughout. Appeals allowed. ROTA
