શેઠ આ૦ કરની પેઢીને ઇતિહાસ Sooruj Khund, the Thakore Sahib allows them to be built up, but the Shravuks must not take up new ground unnecessarily. This is reasonable, and the Shraýuks should conform to this.
No hindrance also will be given by the Thakore Sahib to repairs and alterations, Provided the latter do not take up new gtound, and, to do this, Previous Sanction and arrangement must be made with the Thakorc Sahib, who has also no desire to stop the building of Keshowjee naik's temples, merely requiring that he should give a plan so that the Thakore may be assured no new ground will be taken up. As Keshowjee Naik has had the ground given him free by the Thakore Sahib, there need be no difficulty in complying with this request.

I do not think that the Shravuk have a right to the ground within thc enclosure within-the tunk or fortifications, or other temples and holy places not belonging to the Shravuks.

The Thakore like wise takes a certain custom-duty on marble and jewels placed in the temples. Reference to my judgement, in the case of the annual Rs. 10,000, being levy by the Thakore from the Shravuks, which judgement was upheld by Government, will throw some light on this matter.
