Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Clause 9 of the scheme of the Church of Brethren General Board (India) under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950. The Court held that the appointment of new trustees must adhere to the procedures outlined in the trust's scheme, emphasizing the necessity for unanimous resolutions among surviving trustees. The Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's decision, affirming the lower court's ruling regarding trustee appointments and the authority of the Charity Commissioner in filling vacancies.
