PRADEEP KUMAR AWASTHI . vs ADMINISTRATOR/BRD.OF TRUST K.E.TRUST — C.A. No. 5801/2009

Summary of C.A. No. 005801/2009 On March 17, 2011, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Pradeep Kumar Awasthi challenging a Kanyakubja Education Trust election held on June 7, 2003. The Court found the case practically infructuous as no live cause remained for adjudication. The Court upheld the lower court's finding that 15 persons were enrolled as members solely to influence the election outcome, as they were relatives of incumbent office-bearers seeking re-election. The Court left open for future consideration the question of whether near relations of office-bearers are ineligible for membership.
