A renowned Hindu Mutt was donated 3000 sft of land with house by a person thro' a will and after the demise of the donor the property reached the hands of the Mutt in 2014. The property is located very much within the city of Chennai. Recently this property has been sold for half the price in a non-transparent manner and insider sale is suspected. This sale has taken place after some locals giving written objection stating that the Mutt should not sell the house instead carry out some social service activities from that house.
How to bring this house back to Mutt and is there any rule or law stipulating minimum gestation period for properties received as donations by religious outfits ? Please offer your valuable advice.

If the provisions were made in the Will for the purpose of usage of property by the mutt then there could be chances of legal objections.
