Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the Joint Charity Commissioner and the Bombay High Court regarding the sale of properties by the Ambadevi Sanstha under the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950. The Court found that the Joint Charity Commissioner acted within the scope of Section 36 of the Act, which allows for the sale of trust properties when necessary for the trust's interests. The Court dismissed the appeals, affirming that the sale was justified due to the trust's financial needs and the lack of viable objections to the sale.
