This query is : Resolved
Hi. As most of the people are aware that in Mumbai a Charitable Trust is governed under the Bombay Public Trusts Act,1950. As such any change is to be reported in the office of the Charity Commissioner.
My query is once a change report relating to an appointment of a Trustee filed in the office of the Charity Commissioner, is to be considered as accepted. This is so as there have been instances over there that the said change reports are not brought for hearing for years. In such a situation, what is the locus standi of that Trustee. Can he sign the necessary documents of the Trust as an Trustee.
If such Trustee is not a deemed Trustee till the acceptance of the Change Report, then what should be done.
Kindly advice, as mostly this question is arisen in the Charity Commissioner's office.
Thanks in advance.riven

I would also like to add that there seems to be no provision in the Act which shows a procedure for filing of change reports and what documents to be attached. There are different requirements of different CC officers. Does anyone have any citation to prove that there has to be a proper procedure to be followed
Is there any specific site relating to Bombay Public Trusts Act Cases.riven
