Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the High Court's decision regarding the maintainability of Trust OP No.96 of 2002 under Sections 61, 62, 65, 66, and 92 of the Indian Trusts Act, along with Order VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that the Trust OP could not be converted into a civil suit, affirming that the relief sought was not maintainable as a trust petition and could only be pursued through a civil suit. The Court clarified that the dismissal of the Trust OP does not preclude the appellants from filing a fresh suit in accordance with law.
