Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the appointment of a sole trustee for the Karveer Peeth under the Bombay Public Trust Act, specifically referencing Section 47. The Court held that the appointment must adhere to the traditions and qualifications outlined in the trust's management scheme, emphasizing that the trustee must be a sannyasi. The Court upheld the decision of the Charity Commissioner, affirming that the qualifications for appointment were not met by the respondent, thus maintaining the integrity of the trust's traditions.
