RAVI CONSTRUCTIONS CO. vs SOMVANSHI ARYA KSHATRIYA SAMAJ .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court, affirming that the chief trustee of a trust had the authority to compromise a civil suit under Order XXIII Rule 3A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court ruled that the consent decree was valid as the other trustees had authorized the chief trustee to act on behalf of the Trust. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's finding that the challenge to the consent decree was barred due to lack of evidence against the chief trustee's authority.
