M. Sudakar vs V.Manoharan & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, which found that the resolution debarring the petitioner from holding any post in the Aruppukkottai Nadarkal Uravinmurai Pothu Abiruthi Trust for 10 years was illegal due to the absence of any provision in the Trust's bye-laws allowing such action. The Court emphasized that the resolution lacked legal sanction and affirmed the petitioner's status as a member of the Trust. The appeal by the respondents was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that actions taken without proper authority under governing documents are invalid.
