The transfer of funds had been made to a private university which had been created by a statute. The transfer was for educational purposes. The Tribunal had rightly considered that the trustees would not be covered under S. 13. Foreign trip after taking into consideration the student exchange programme the Tribunal had come to the conclusion that it was covered under the purpose of the trust object and was done for the educational institution and benefit of the students, and hence the expenses on the foreign trip were rightly allowed.
