Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's decision of the Madras High Court, which dismissed the writ petitions challenging the resumption order dated 05.08.1989 under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The Court found that the plea of mala fides raised by the appellants, based on political rivalry, was not factually or legally sustainable. Consequently, the Court affirmed the legality of the resumption order for public purpose, rejecting the appellants' claims.
