Enforcement of service or charity in certain cases. —(1) Where a specific endowment attached to a math or temple consists merely of a charge on property and there is failure in the due performance of the service or charity, the trustee of the math or temple concerned may require the person in possession of the property on which the endowment is a charge, to pay the expenses incurred or likely to be incurred in causing the service or charity to be performed otherwise. In default of such person making payment as required, the Commissioner in the case of a specific endowment attached to a math, and 1[the Joint Commissioner or the Deputy Commissioner, as the case may be], in the case of a specific endowment attached to a temple, may, on the application of the trustee and after giving the person in possession, a reasonable opportunity of stating his objections in regard thereto, by order determine the amount payable to the trustee.
