Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decision under Section 50 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950, which framed a management scheme for the Dargah of Sayad Ishak. The court ruled that while the hereditary positions of the Mutawalli and Mujawars should not be removed, a Board of Trustees should be established for better management. The scheme included provisions for the appointment of trustees and the distribution of income, ensuring the Dargah's proper administration and maintenance.
