Shinde i/by Mr. Nitin P. Deshpande for the respondent No.3. Mr. Laxman Dhake, Partner of Yogiraj Builders present. CORAM : J.N. PATEL, ACTING C.J. & B.R. GAVAI, J. DATED : 29TH JANUARY, 2010 P.C. This appeal challenges the orders passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No.6743 of 2007 and Writ Petition No.5861 of 2008. Two petitions were filed challenging the order passed by the learned Joint Charity Commissioner by which he has rejected the application filed by the petitioner for grant of permission under section 36(1)(a) of the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950. 2. Upon perusal of the order passed by the learned Single Judge, it is seen that the learned Single Judge has found that the property of the Trust was sought to be transferred by private negotiations without either inviting tenders or holding public auction. The learned Single Judge concurring with the finding of the Learned Charity Commissioner found that if public auction is held or tenders invited, the trust could have received much better offers. He, therefore, held that the order passed by the Joint Charity Commissioner was in the interest of justice. We find no error or illegality in the order of the learned Single Judge. Appeal is dismissed. ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE B.R. GAVAI, J.
