In Brief
Ashok Kumar Gupta challenged the dismissal of a suit under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure relating to Sitalaxmi Sahuwala Medical Trust. The Trust operated a hospital for public benefit. The suit sought proper administration through qualified trustees in medical and public fields. The Court held that Section 92 applies where relief seeks to vindicate public rights—not merely personal rights—concerning a charitable trust. Since the relief aimed at proper trust administration serving the general public, the suit properly fell within Section 92's scope. The appeal was allowed.
