Anjaneyulu, the learned counsel appearing for the 1st respondent. 5. Sri P. Raj Sekhar, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, contends that, the said issue does not arise in as much as the earlier proceedings between the mother of the 1st respondent and the petitioner – trust, in O.S.No.469 of 2014, on the file of the learned Principal Senior Civil Judge, Guntur, was on the question of existence of the trust and there is no requirement for any further proof to be produced, in this regard. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would also contend that, 4 RRR,J C.R.P.No.591 of 2026 these issues were raised, before the Trial Court and were not answered by the Trial Court in as much as the Trial Court merely allowed the application, on the ground that, no prejudice was caused to the petitioner – trust. 6. Sri B. V. Anjaneyulu, the learned counsel appearing for the 1st respondent, on the other hand, would contend that, the 1st respondent had specifically raised the question of the existence and the validity of the will, under which the petitioner – trust, is said to have been formed and in such circumstances, there is every need to frame an additional issue, on the said question. 7. A perusal of the order, dated 16.12.2025, would show that, the Trial Court, had not adverted to these questions nor have these contentions been answered. 8. In these circumstances, this Civil Revision Petition is allowed, setting aside the order of the Trial Court, passed in I.A.No.525 of 2025, in O.S.No.195 of 2018, dated 16.12.2025 and the matter is remanded back to the Trial Court, for a decision on merits, after considering and answering the rival submissions, made on both sides.
