1 Ash IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6190 OF 2010 Brahman Sabha Karveer. .. Petitioner Vs Sou. Seema Ravindra Joshi. .. Respondent - Shri N.V. Bandiwadekar for the Petitioner. Shri Abhijit M. Adagule for the Respondent. -- CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. DATE : 1ST SEPTEMBER, 2010 P.C: . Heard learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner. By the impugned order, the learned Joint Charity Commissioner has rejected an application for stay made by the Petitioner in an appeal filed under Section 70 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner submitted that though a change report filed by the Petitioner was rejected, during the pendency of the appeal before the learned Joint Charity Commissioner, some interim arrangement will have to be made. He pointed out that an order of status quo was passed at an ad-interim stage. He submitted that to ensure that day to day activities of the trust are not affected, the learned Joint Charity Commissioner ought to have continued the order of status quo 2 and that the appeal could not have been expeditiously disposed of. 3. I have considered the submissions. By the order impugned in the appeal preferred by the Petitioner, a change report under Section 70 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950 has been rejected. The finding of the Deputy Charity Commissioner is that no legal and valid change as contended by the Petitioner has occasioned. The prayer for interim relief in the application made by the Petitioner before the Appellate Authority was for grant of stay of operation, implementation and effect of the judgment of the Deputy Charity Commissioner. The effect of the order of the Deputy Charity Commissioner is the rejection of the change report. Therefore, there was no occasion to stay the operation of the order by which the change report is rejected. In fact, only on this ground, the application for stay could have been rejected by the Joint Charity Commissioner. In the circumstances, in writ jurisdiction, no interference is called for with the impugned order. The final order passed by the learned Joint Charity Commissioner is absolutely correct considering that the only prayer made in the application was for grant of stay to the order rejecting the change report. 4. In the circumstances, there is no merit in the Petition and the same is rejected. Rejection of the Petition will not come in the way of the Petitioner filing an appropriate application for an appropriate interim relief before appropriate forum. 3 5. On the prayer made by the learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner, ad-interim relief granted on 5th August, 2010 will continue to operate for a period of three weeks from today. (A.S.OKA, J)
