Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-27-1995

Reported in: 1995(4)BomCR439

A.A. Desai, J.1. The trial Court in a suit under section 8 of the Madhya Pradesh Public Trusts Act (the Act), instituted by the respondents, held that by Settlement Deed (Exh. 554) (the deed), a Public Trust has been created for Atba-e-Malak Jamat (the Jamat). However, the respondents not being members of the Jamat, have no locus to institute the proceedings. The trial Court therefore, by order dated 30-9-1986, dismissed the suit. In first appeal, the learned Judge maintained the order as regards creation of the trust. However, by reversing the finding, he held that the respondents/plaintiffs were the members of the Jamat and, therefore, they had locus to file the suit. The appellate Court, therefore, by order dated 1-2-1992, decreed the suit claim to set aside negative entry dated 27-3-1967 and directed registration of Public Trust. Hence, this second appeal by the original defendants. The case has a chequered history. However, some of the undisputed facts relevant for appeal are thus...
