Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court rejecting the appellants' petition to quash the Charity Commissioner's order granting permission under Section 36 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950. The Court established that the Charity Commissioner acted within his jurisdiction in approving the transfer of management of the Parsi Lying-in Hospital to Krimson Health Ventures Private Limited for renovation and operation. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the legality of the Charity Commissioner's order and the High Court's ruling.
