Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the Parsi Zoroastrian Anjuman, affirming the High Court's decision that rejected the trust's application for sanction to dispose of its property. The court noted that the trust's governing scheme required specific concurrence from the community members for such actions, which was not adequately demonstrated. Thus, the court upheld the lower courts' interpretations of the Madhya Pradesh Public Trusts Act, 1951 regarding the management and disposal of trust properties.
