https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196432 Under the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950, the Charity Commissioner's role was treated as supervisory and protective, not merely adjudicatory. The Act's powers of inspection, audit, surcharge, institution of breach-of-trust suits, and control over public trust administration, together with the notice-and-impleading scheme in Section 56-B, supported a purposive reading of the appellate framework. On that basis, the appellate remedy under Section 72 was not to be read narrowly so as to exclude the Charity Commissioner, and the Commissioner was entitled to appeal as of right against an adverse District Court decision affecting a public charity. en-us Tue, 28 Aug 1962 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 30 Nov 2017 14:58:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196432 Under the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950, the Charity Commissioner's role was treated as supervisory and protective, not merely adjudicatory.
