Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court regarding the Charity Commissioner's order under Section 36(1) of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950, allowing the Trustees of the Tithal Parsi Sanatorium Trust to lease Trust property for 99 years to the 5th respondent. The Court emphasized that the Trustees acted within their authority to ensure the Trust's objectives were met, despite the lack of income from the properties. The Court affirmed that the Trustees' decision was reasonable and in the best interest of the Trust's beneficiaries, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
