Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute involving the Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust, where the respondents sought the removal of trustees under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure due to alleged failure to uphold the Trust's philosophy. The Court emphasized the importance of amicable dispute resolution and the detrimental effects of prolonged litigation on public trusts.
