Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's judgment modifying the composition of the trust for the ancient Shiva temple under the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950. The Court emphasized that representation from Tungars, Purohits, and Pujaris is essential for the trust's management, balancing their interests with the need for impartial oversight. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to limit the trust to a maximum of seven members, including ex-officio trustees, ensuring a fair representation while maintaining the integrity of the trust's administration.
