1 Wp10664.09 Ash IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 10664 OF 2009 Sou Rekha Prakash Jade. .. Petitioner Vs The Joint Charity Commissioner, Latur Region, Latur. .. Respondent ­­ Shri A.A. Joshi for the Petitioner. Shri R.M. Patne, AGP for Respondent No.1. ­­ CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. DATE : 17TH SEPTEMBER, 2010 P.C: . Heard learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner. The Petitioner who is Head Mistress of a School run by a Public Trust made an application before the Joint Charity Commissioner seeking clarification from the Joint Charity Commissioner as regards the dispute as to who is the President of the Public Trust which was running the school. By the impugned order, the learned Joint Charity Commissioner has rejected the said application. What was argued before the learned Joint Charity Commissioner was that the application was made under Section 41­A of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950. 2. On the face of it, Section 41­A of the said Act has no 2 Wp10664.09 application. The learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner submits that Section 41­B of the said Act will apply. The said Section provides for institution of an inquiry. What was sought by the Petitioner was an advice as to whether the Petitioner should abide by directions of one Shri Subhash Ratanlal Shah or Bharat Lale, both of whom are allegedly claiming to be chair­persons of the Public Trust. Therefore, Section 41­B will have no application. Thus, the application made by the Petitioner was not maintainable. The Petitioner will have to adopt appropriate proceedings or take appropriate steps. 3. Subject to what is observed above, no case is made out for interference with the impugned order. The Writ Petition is accordingly rejected. (A.S.OKA, J)
