Rajesh D. Darbar & Ors vs Narasingrao Krishnaji Kulkarni & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed appeals under Section 72(4) of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950, concerning the validity of elections for the Managing Committee of Vidya Vardhak Sangh, Bijapur. The Court held that the High Court erred in concluding that 38 individuals were legally inducted as members, emphasizing that the dispute regarding their eligibility remained relevant despite the passage of time. The Court clarified that subsequent developments could influence the nature of relief but did not alter substantive rights, ultimately upholding the need for accurate adjudication of membership eligibility.
