IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 15776 OF 2023 Vijaykumar Kanhaiyalal Jain

VERSUS

Jethmal Kisanlal Doshi Died And Others ...

Advocate for the Petitioner : Mr. Kadu Shivraj B ...

CORAM : SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J.

DATED : DECEMBER 17, 2025 PER COURT :

1.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

2.

By way of present petition, the petitioner assails the order dated 03.12.2014 passed by the learned Assistant Charity Commissioner, Jalgaon in Inquiry No.942 of 2014, the change report came to be accepted. The said order was assailed by the petitioner by filing Revision Application No.13 of 2015 under Section 70A of the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, 1950 and the learned Joint Charity Commissioner dismissed the said revision vide its order dated 27.01.2020.

3.

After going through the order passed by the Assistant Charity Commissioner dated 03.04.2014, the documents which are submitted by the petitioner/applicant and after considering the objections raised by the objector, the learned Assistant Charity Commissioner accepted the change report. While passing the order,

932-wp-15776-2022.odt (2) the learned Assistant Charity Commissioner observed that surviving trustees of the registered public trust shall take effective steps as per Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, 1950 about the filing of change report and audit and all necessary steps according to MPT Act, 1950 and including securing of immovable property of the trust and said order is confirmed by the Joint Charity Commissioner. 4.

After going through the findings recorded by the Assistant Charity Commissioner and Joint Charity Commissioner, it seems that both authorities have considered that the petitioner was not having interest in the trust and earlier change reports were rejected and new trustees were appointed. Therefore, both the authorities have concurrently held against the petitioner. 5.

Therefore, I do not find any reason to interfere with the findings recorded by both the authorities. The petition is dismissed. No order as to cost.
