Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 6 of the Nagpur Improvement Trust Act, 1936, determining that it grants the State Government the authority to remove Trustees at any time before their five-year term is completed, independent of the provisions in Section 10. The Court upheld the removal of the appellant from the Trust, affirming that the State's power under Section 6 is not limited by Section 10's stipulations. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
