Section 319: Power to refuse registration of trust

1) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 318, the Registrar may refuse to register a trust in any of the following circumstances:

(a) If the details, documents or fees referred to in Section 316 are not mentioned or paid,

(b) If the name of the trust resembles with the name of any other trust already registered prior to the registration of the trust applied for,

(c) If the objects or terms of the trust appear to be inappropriate or undesirable for reasons of public interest, decency, courtesy or public order, are not lawful or are not capable of being implemented owing to their uncertainty or vagueness.

2) If a trust is not capable of being registered pursuant to sub-section (1), the Registrar shall give information thereof, along with the reason for refusal, to the applicant within thirty-five days.

3) If, upon receipt of information pursuant to sub-section (2), the applicant makes necessary corrections and an application again for the registration of the trust, the Registrar shall register the trust and issue the registration certificate pursuant to sub-section (1) of Section 318, within fifteen days of the making of such an application.
