Muni Kumar Razdan vs Trimuti Charitable Trust, Gwalior & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court erred in deciding the Letters Patent Appeal without issuing notice to the appellants, as required by principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the jurisdiction of the Registrar under Section 8 of the Madhya Pradesh Public Trust Act, 1951 must be respected, and that the matter should be resolved in the pending civil suit rather than through the writ petition. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to allow the Letters Patent Appeal and not remand the matter to the Single Judge.
