Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the administration of the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust under The Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950, in the context of a suit filed by Mrs. Charu Kishor Mehta. The Court upheld the trial court's order striking out certain paragraphs from the written statements of the defendants, emphasizing the need for pleadings to remain germane to the plaint. The Court also noted the urgency of resolving the suit expeditiously, directing its completion by 26.9.2007, and dismissed the Special Leave Petitions challenging the High Court's refusal to stay the trial proceedings.
