Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court erred in allowing 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 have been dismissed in light of the ongoing civil suit challenging the registration of the trust. The appeal was allowed, affirming the need for proper notice and adherence to procedural requirements.
