Reported in : AIR1928Bom69; (1928)30BOMLR177; 108Ind.Cas.495

..... ' on my inquiring as to the reason for the change, he mentioned that as official trustee the fees chargeable would be less and besides that, there was the government indemnity under the official trustees act ii of 1913. ..... the guardians and wards act was passed in 1890, and the official trustees act was passed in 1913, and if it was the intention of the legislature that the official trustee as such should be appointed also the guardian of the property of a minor, i think that intention would have been expressed by appropriate terms.26. ..... then comes section 12 of the official trustees act under which a donor or an executor or administrator or a trustee can transfer a gift or legacy or share of the assets of a deceased person to which an infant or a lunatic is entitled to the official trustee with his consent, and upon such transfer the property will vest in the official trustee and shall be subject to the same provisions as are contained in the act as to other property vested in the official trustee. ..... be lawful for the supreme court of each of the presidencies in the said territories, on petition to appoint the registrar, or such other officer of the court, as the court may from time to time select as the official trustee, under the provisions of this act to be a trustee of such property, and that upon such appointment such property shall vest in such officer and his successors in office, and shall be held by them upon the same trusts as the same was .....

In Re: Trust for Zebunnessa Khatoon

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : AIR1940Cal169

..... this view was based on a comparison between the official trustees act of 1864 and the official trustees act of 1913. ..... in my view, irrespective of any particular official trustees act, if there is now an official trustee of bengal capable of receiving the money under clause 2 of section 6 that is sufficient. ..... in my view the official trustee under the old act is not of a different species of being from the official trustee under the later act of 1913. ..... there had been earlier acts relating to the official trustee as there is now a later act of 1913.4. ..... as i have said, the question whether the official trustee, being the person made payee by the act itself is entitled to refuse to enforce a trust is a question with which i am not called upon to deal. ..... he was impressed by the fact that there is liberty under section 7 of the latter act to the official trustee either to accept or refuse a trust. ..... the company then turned round and took a second objection, namely that these trustees were not properly appointed and that under the act it must be the official trustee and no other. ..... that act is the act relating to the official trustee in force at the time of the married women's property act. ..... clause 3 declares that in reference to such sum, that is, the sum paid to and received by the official trustee, he shall stand in the same position in all respects as if he had been appointed trustee thereof by a high court under act 17 of 1864, section 10. .....

Sm. Haridasi Debi Vs. Manufacturers Life Assurance Co. Ltd.

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : AIR1937Cal379

..... this apparent inconsistency is that section 6, married women's property act (act 3 of 1874) does not apply to the corporation sole which has been created under the provisions of the official trustees act of 1913; that is to say the official trustee mentioned in section 6, married women's property act is not the legal person referred to in the official trustees act of 1913, which is a corporation sole. ..... trustee has been properly appointed within the meaning of the section, and that it is not necessary to appoint the official trustee, that is to say, the holder of the office created under the provisions of the official trustees act of 1913 ..... that the official trustee could not refuse a trust apparently imposed by section 6 upon him, but after further consideration it seems to me obvious that there are inconsistencies between the provisions of section 6, married women's property act and the official trustees act of 1913. ..... the official trustees act override in this respect section 6, married women's property act. ..... raised another point, namely that the learned judge had no power to make such an order under the terms of the section, and that the official trustee is the only person to whom the defendants are under any obligation to pay the money, if indeed the money has become payable to anybody. ..... section 7 of the latter act, the consent of the official trustee is required before any trust ..... official trustee referred to in section 6, who was appointed under the provisions of section 10 of act .....

..... in 1864 the official trustee act (act 17 of 1864) was passed (now repealed by act 2 of 1913), by which property could vest in trust for charitable purposes other than religion. ..... according to the strict mohammadan law where any personal benefit in the shape of maintenance and support of a mohemadan founder of his family, children and descendants was held to vitiate the wakf and the wakfs validating act, 1913 was passed in order to validate such wakfs and, therefore, those trustees who were formerly held to be trustees under an invalid wakf trust because of that personal benefit had to be expressly brought in. ..... on behalf of the deity, the assessee, the main argument is that the shebait does not come within the language of the specific classes of persons mentioned in section 41, namely (1) courts of wards, (2) the administrators-general, (3) the official trustees, (4) receiver or manager appointed by or under any order of a court, and (5) any trustee or trustees within the meaning of that section.12. ..... its attractiveness arises from the fact that section 41 is intended to reach representatives only like the courts of wards, the administrator-general, the official trustee, the receiver or manager or trustee. ..... the language is:'including the trustee and the trustees under any wakf deed which is valid under the mussalman wakf validating act, 1913. .....
