Legal action to recover priest’s last rupee ended (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trover

'legal action to recover' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'priest's last rupee ended' is the wordplay.
'last' says to take the final letters.
'rupee' becomes 'r'.
'ended' becomes 'over' (synonyms).
The final letter of 'priest' is 't'.
't'+'r'+'over'='TROVER'

(Another definition for trover that I've seen is " Legal action to recover".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
