Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decree of the trial court declaring Ragini Narayan as the Donor Trustee of the B.M. Sreenivasaiah Educational Trust, affirming that the amendment to the Trust Deed allowing for succession to the Donor Trusteeship was valid. The Court emphasized that B.S. Narayan had the authority to nominate his wife as Donor Trustee, which he did prior to his death, and that this nomination was not revoked. The judgment clarified the legal standing of the Trust Deed amendments and the rights of the trustees under the relevant provisions.
