Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the auction of trust land under Section 36 of the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950, while noting that the High Court may have overstepped its jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the High Court's direction was in the best interest of the trust, and denied the petitioners' special leave to appeal due to suppression of material facts. The ruling reinforces the necessity of obtaining prior sanction from the Charity Commissioner for the sale of immovable property belonging to a public trust.
