v3.c44.83
Property dedicated to a god is called 'devottara' (the word being written as *debutter* in the Law Reports, particularly from Bengal). *Vide Sham Charan Nandi v. Abhiram Goswami*, 33 Cal. 511 at p. 523. A good deal of litigation comes up to the courts about the rights and liabilities of the trustees and the *sevakas* (called *Shebait* in Bengal), about their mismanagement of the temple properties and their removal and so forth.
