Raval Manharbhai Kalidas and Ors vs Bhaskarbhai Chandubhai Patel and Ors

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

The appellants challenged a High Court's modification of a Trust Scheme without notice to affected parties. The Supreme Court held that although a public notice under the Civil Procedure Code should have been issued, it did not remit the matter. Instead, it directed issuance of notice and invited objections. Since no villagers filed objections after proper notice and the High Court's modifications were made in the Trust's interests, the Court dismissed the appeals and vacated the interim stay, allowing elections to proceed as directed by the High Court."
