Enumerate the objects of a trust, as contemplated in the Indian Trusts Act, 1882.

Answer & Explanation:

Section 4 of the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 provides that the object of the trust must be lawful. The purpose of the trust is lawful unless it is: forbidden by law, or is of such a nature that, if permitted, it would defeat the provisions of any law, or is fraudulent, or involves or implies injury to the person or property of another, or the Court regards it as immoral or opposed to public policy. Every trust of which the purpose is unlawful is void. And where a trust is created for two purposes, of which one is lawful and the other unlawful, and the two purposes cannot be separated, the whole trust is void.
