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, which permitted the Trustees of the Tithal Parsi Sanatorium Trust to lease out property for 99 years to ensure the Trust's sustainability. The Court emphasized that the Trustees acted within their authority to secure the Trust's objectives and that the lease agreement was in the best interest of the Trust. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the legality of the Charity Commissioner's approval.
