THE INDIAN TRUSTS ARE GENERALLY IRREVOCABLE MEANING THEY RUN BEYOND THE LIFE OF THE SETTLOR AND THE TRUSTEES. I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY THERE CANNOT BE AN AMENDMENT IN THE TENURE OF APPOINTMENT.FURTHER, IT IS LEGALLY VALID FOR RUNNING THE TRUST IN A MORE EFFICIENT WAY.

Such amendment can be made as per bye-laws of such Trust contained in the Trust-deed itself.

The Trust Deeds specify that they are irrevocable.

As far I have gone through the BPT Act,there are no specific provisions which gives the existing trustees to amend the trust deed relating to the tenure??
Could you please give me a specific section or a caselaw relating to it?
