https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312547 Section 50 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950 was construed as an enabling provision for representative litigation and not as a bar on a trustee's ordinary right to sue strangers or trespassers for recovery of trust property; consent of the Charity Commissioner was therefore unnecessary for such a suit. The Court also treated trustees recognised for trust administration, including de facto trustees in appropriate cases, as having locus standi to protect trust property against persons with no right, title or interest. Authorities cited against that position were distinguished on their facts. The appeal thus failed on both objections, and the decree for the plaintiffs was sustained. en-us Wed, 16 Nov 1966 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 23 Feb 2024 15:08:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312547 Section 50 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950 was construed as an enabling provision for representative litigation and not as a bar on a trustee's ordinary right to sue strangers or trespassers for recovery of trust property; consent of the Charity Commissioner was therefore unnecessary for such a suit.
