Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's rejection of the appellant's application for modification of an earlier order concerning the Victoria Memorial Hall, governed by the Victoria Memorial Act, 1903. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory provisions and the role of the Board of Trustees in managing the memorial. The ruling reinforced the principle that modifications to administrative decisions must be justified and aligned with the Act's objectives, thereby affirming the High Court's decision.
