Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the Modipon Limited Senior Executives Welfare Trust, emphasizing the fiduciary duties of trustees under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. The Court found that the trustees had failed to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries, as they did not forward bonus shares and operated a bank account in their personal name rather than in the Trust's name. The Court affirmed the removal of the trustee and mandated the return of shares and dividends to the Trust, ensuring beneficiaries receive their entitled benefits.
