Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court, affirming that the Chief Trustee had the authority to compromise the civil suit under Order XXIII Rule 3A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court found that the resolution authorizing the Chief Trustee to act on behalf of the Trust was valid, and thus the consent decree was not subject to challenge. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that a duly authorized representative can bind the Trust in legal proceedings.
