However, at the stage of grant of leave, the court neither adjudicates upon the merits of the dispute nor confers any substantive rights upon the parties. The Court explained that while the society cannot be considered as an \u2018express trust\u2019, but for an entity to be brought within the rigours of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a>, the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">plaintiff has the option of also contending<\/span> that a \u2018<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">constructive trust<\/span>\u2019 exists in the circumstances and a breach of such a constructive trust has occurred or that the directions of the Court are necessary for the administration of such a constructive trust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court dismissing the appeal by Operation ASHA held that the underlying suit filed before the Single Judge of the High Court by Respondents 1 and 2, must be commenced at the earliest and <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">the High Court must pay careful attention to whether the circumstances necessitating the imposition of a \u2018constructive trust\u2019 is made out or not<\/span>.<\/span> If yes, then it must delineate the properties which would be subjected to the constructive trust and assess whether the reliefs prayed for in the present plaint may be granted.<\/p>\n<h3>Background and Legal Trajectory:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Operation ASHA (appellant society) is a not-for-profit society founded in the year 2005 and registered under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002919602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Societies Registration Act, 1860<\/a> with its registered office in New Delhi. The appellant Society is engaged in providing health services through a plethora of activities primarily to the underprivileged sections of the society across India with special emphasis on the treatment, education and prevention of tuberculosis and other diseases. Its Memorandum of Association (MoA) stipulates that all the incomes and earnings of the society, whether movable or immovable, shall solely be utilised to further its aims and objectives. Furthermore, MoA stated that the members of the appellant society would not be entitled to any profits by virtue of their membership.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Respondent 1 is a medical health professional and co-founder of the appellant Society. Vide communication dated 19-06-2020, her services\/employment as President of Operation ASHA was terminated. The communication alleged that her termination was on account of various \u201c<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">omissions including misrepresentation<\/span>\u201d of her daughter\u2019s previous employment, fabrication of documents, misappropriation of the assets and funds of the NGO as well as gross misbehaviour with the staff and the employees. Subsequently, the Board of the appellant Society passed a resolution terminating the Respondent 1 from the post\/office of President and as a member of their Board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Respondent 2, who is the mother of the Respondent 1, is one of the current members of the Board, instituted an Original Suit under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> immediately after the removal of the Respondent 1. The suit was filed before Single Judge Bench of Delhi High Court seeking declaration, permanent &amp; prohibitory injunction and rendition of accounts. They alleged misconduct and breach of several of the society\u2019s by-laws.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Single Judge Bench of the High Court appointed Justice (retd.) R.V. Easwar as the Chairperson of the Board of the appellant Society with the consent of both the parties. Directions were issued to the Chairperson to submit a report and conduct a financial audit. The Chairperson submitted three reports, an Interim Forensic Audit Report and a Final Forensic Audit Report. The Single Judge Bench of the High Court vide the judgment and <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">order dated 03-05-2024<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">granted leave to the Respondents 1 and 2 for the purpose of instituting a suit under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a><\/span>, holding that all the elements and ingredients under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> stood fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Aggrieved with the afore-stated decision, the appellant society preferred an appeal before the High Court\u2019s Division Bench. However, the Division Bench dismissed the appeal vide the impugned <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">order dated 21-08-2024.<\/span> Aggrieved by the above dismissal, Operation ASHA approached the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<h3>Court\u2019s Assessment:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Perusing the dispute and its legal trajectory, the Court began its analysis by delving into the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; text-underline-style: solid; text-underline-mode: continuous;\">Object and purpose behind Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a><\/span>.<\/span> The Court explained that obtaining a \u2018<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">grant of leave<\/span>\u2019 from the court before the suit can be proceeded with, acts as a procedural and legislative safeguard in order to prevent public trusts from being subjected to undue harassment through frivolous suits being filed against them and also to obviate a situation that would cause a further wastage of resources which can otherwise be put towards public charitable or religious aims. The Court noted that a suit under this provision can be termed as a \u2018<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">representative suit of a special nature<\/span>\u2019 since the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">object behind the enactment of this provision is the protection of public rights in the public trust<\/span>. Therefore, the parties filing a suit by invoking this section are considered to be representatives of the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further pointed out that the grant of leave under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">serves as a procedural safeguard, ensuring that public charitable trusts are protected from mala fide suits<\/span> that may have the consequence of impeding their operations. At this stage, however, the court neither adjudicates upon the merits of the dispute nor confers any substantive rights upon the parties; what is established is merely the maintainability of the suit which is sought to be initiated by the plaintiffs.<\/p>\n<p>Coming onto the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; text-underline-style: solid; text-underline-mode: continuous;\">conditions to be fulfilled for the applicability of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a><\/span><\/span>, the Court referred to <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Ashok Kumar Gupta v.

Even if the beneficiaries are not necessarily the public at large, they must at least be a classified section of it and not a pre-ascertained group of specific individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Answering that whether institution\/organisation can be construed to a \u2018<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">trust<\/span>\u2019 or a \u2018constructive trust\u2019, the Court stated that when no formal recognition has been given to the institution, the creation of a public trust can be inferred from the relevant circumstances surrounding the coming into existence of and functioning of the institution\/entity in question. Although it is not possible to provide an exhaustive list of the same, yet they may include \u2014<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(a) the method of devolution of the property to the institution or its acquisition and the circumstances along with the intention behind the grant of property i.e. whether it was for the benefit of the organization\/public beneficiaries or for the personal benefit of any particular individual\/family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(b) whether the grant is accompanied with any fetter\/obligation or qualified with a condition, either express or implied, regarding its use by the grantee<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(c) whether the \u2018dedication\u2019 was complete i.e., whether there was an absolute cessation or complete relinquishment of ownership of the property on the part of the grantor and a subsequent vesting of the property in another individual (trustee) for the said object;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(d) whether the public user or an unascertained class of individuals could exercise any \u2018right\u2019 over the organization and its properties<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">(e) the manner of use of the profits accrued, more particularly, whether it is applied\/re-applied towards the benefit of the organization and its objectives, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">If the afore-stated circumstances exist and the entity has been registered as a society under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002919602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Societies Registration Act, 1860<\/a>, much later in time, it would still be treated as a \u2018<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">public trust<\/span>\u2019 as per Full Bench ruling in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Kesava Panicker v. Damodara Panicker<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/5Ej5nsrI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1974 SCC OnLine Ker 58<\/a>. However, if the institution has been registered, from its inception, as a society under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002919602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Societies Registration Act, 1860<\/a>, the effect of registration under the 1860 Act would not be to automatically invest the properties of the society with the character of trust property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Delving into Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001539562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002919602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Societies Registration Act, 1860<\/a>, the Court pointed out that the property belonging to the society can either be vested in \u2018trustees\u2019 or in the governing body of the society. This vesting has been envisaged because a society registered under the 1860 Act is not a juristic person or a body corporate capable of holding property by itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The phrase, \u201c<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">if not vested in trustees<\/span>\u201d in Section 5 of the 1860 Act, must be read to mean that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">a trust can be created, either expressly or impliedly, before or after the registration<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">of a society<\/span>, for the purpose of holding its properties. A public trust would be created prior to the registration of a society. In such a case, all the properties of the society which had been imbued with the character of \u2018trust property\u2019 would be subject to Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"animate-charcter\" style=\"margin-left: 36pt; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 3%;\">\u201cHowever, if it is argued that a trust has instead separately been created for holding the property of the society after its registration as a society, the same must be clearly and sufficiently proven. Here, the separate trust which has been created and the properties which has been vested in said trust would be subject to scrutiny under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a>. In both these scenarios, an \u2018express trust\u2019 would be created and in a suit under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a>, the criteria i.e., the existence of an express or constructive trust, would be met\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">In the absence of such a separate vesting in trustees as aforesaid<\/span>, the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">property belonging to the society would be automatically vested, through a deeming fiction, in the governing body of the society<\/span>. Such a governing body is duty bound to ensure that the property is put towards and utilised for the purposes\/aims of the society as laid out in its Memorandum of Association or any Rules and Regulations governing the said matter. In case of the society\u2019s dissolution, the members would not derive any right to distribute the assets belonging to the society between themselves. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">During the subsistence and dissolution of the society, the members or the governing body cannot be said to possess any beneficial or individual interest over the property vested in them<\/span>. They would also safeguard the society\u2019s property for the future members of the society or the future governing body such that perpetuity is assigned to both the society and its property, unless expressly dissolved. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">All these factors evidence that the governing body must also act within the contours of a strict fiduciary relationship<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Perusing Section 5 of the 1860 Act, the Court pointed out that legislative creativity was employed <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">to ensure that the incapability of the society to hold the property by itself does not have any practical effect on its ability to use and administer those properties<\/span> while also ensuring that the property of the society may not be squandered or the object and purpose for which the society was formed may not be defeated by persons having control of the properties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Explaining the concept of \u2018<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">constructive trust<\/span>\u2019 the Court said that a constructive trust, arises by operation of law, without regard to or irrespective of the intention of the parties to create a trust. It is imposed predominantly because the person(s) holding the title to the property would profit by a wrong or would be unjustly enriched if they were permitted to keep the property. It was pointed out that for application of \u2018constructive trust\u2019, the fiduciary must receive property or money which he cannot conscientiously retain. It is only thereafter that a constructive trust would be raised in favour of the beneficiaries on whose account the money was originally received. \u201c<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">To put it simply, the factum that the fiduciary \u2018withheld\u2019 the property from its rightful beneficiaries must be established. That such a fiduciary sought to misapply the property in contravention to the covenants that bound him, or sought to gain an advantage for himself, must be proved for a constructive trust to come into existence by the operation of law. That he further divested the said siphoned property\/funds, would have to be proved in order to assert that the \u2018constructive trust\u2019 has additionally been breached<\/span>\u201d. Even in the absence of such a further divestment, the directions of the court may still be necessary for the administration of the constructive trust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Coming onto the allegations of siphoning of funds as levelled by Respondents 1 and 2, the Court stated that, it could be said to have <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">prima facie<\/span> satisfied the condition required to apply the doctrine of constructive trust to the present facts.<\/span> The Court added that if these allegations are found to have no substance or plainly false, the entire suit would fail. The suit could also fail for the reason that the circumstances which required the imposition of a constructive trust do not exist\/have not been proven. However, if found true, all the property diverted for the purpose of obtaining a pecuniary advantage would be subject to a constructive trust, the administration of which can be sought in a suit under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> and the Respondents 3 and 4 respectively would be considered to be \u2018constructive trustees\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court explained that the phrase \u201c<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">persons having an interest in the trust<\/span>\u201d in Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> must neither be construed too narrowly nor too widely. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">It<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">must not be narrow because the word used is \u201cinterest\u201d instead of \u201cdirect interest\u201d<\/span>. However, it must also be remembered that while no direct interest is required, the interest must denote a present and substantial interest and not a sentimental, remote, fictitious or purely illusory interest. The Court explained <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Respondents 1 and 2 respectively are persons interested in the trust<\/span> and whether they are bringing the suit in a representative capacity, it is not just their designation or position which must be looked into or given importance to. While recognising that they have also sought some remedies related to personal grievances and the wrongful dismissal of the Respondent 1, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">there are several other allegations in the plaint which cannot simply be ignored<\/span> and which give Respondents 1 and 2, a dual role\/capacity, whilst they\u2019re agitating the matter under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a>. The larger background in which the suit is brought alludes to the existence of public interest also at play.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Vis-a-vis <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">reliefs claimed<\/span> by Respondents 1 &amp; 2 falling within the scope of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92(1)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> along with the object, purpose and capacity in which the suit is brought, the Court explained that the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">special nature of the suit<\/span> under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">92<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">requires it to be filed fundamentally on behalf of the public for the vindication of public rights<\/span>. Therefore, courts must go beyond the reliefs and give due regard to the object and purpose for which the suit is brought.
