Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals challenging the High Court's judgment regarding the registration of a newly established trust under Section 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The court found that the High Court's reasoning was consistent with the law, affirming that a trust can be registered based on its stated objectives without prior activities. The decision reinforces the interpretation of registration requirements for trusts under the Income Tax Act.
