Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court, affirming the dismissal of the appeal regarding the change report filed under Section 22 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950. The Court found that the objections raised by certain members regarding the election process were without merit, as the elected officials had been duly appointed following the proper procedures outlined in the Society's rules. The Court emphasized that the validity of the election was not undermined by the alleged lack of notice to objectors, as they were not valid members due to non-payment of dues as per Section 15 of the Registration Act, 1860.
