Copy of Judgment

Case Summary: 500051/2015 The District Court of Washim allowed the appeal and modified the Assistant Charity Commissioner's scheme-framing order for Shri Murlidhar Maharaj Sansthan. The court held that while the scheme was validly framed under the Maharashtra Public Trust Act, the delegation of trustee appointment powers to the Inspector was illegal, as scheme-framing and trustee appointment are exclusive judicial functions of the Assistant/Deputy Charity Commissioner under Sections 47, 50-A, and 68 of the Act. The court directed the Assistant Charity Commissioner to personally conduct the trustee appointment inquiry with proper procedure and hearing to both parties. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
