LAW FOR ALL

whether respondent No.1 should be impleaded as a party in the proceedings before the Charity Commissioner in an application filed by a trust for sanction to sell off some land belonging to it. = As far as the first agreement is concerned, permission was granted to the petitioners to purchase the Trust land subject to certain conditions and within a certain time frame. Those conditions were not met. As far as the other two agreements are concerned, the JCC did not grant sanction to the trustees to act on them. It seems to us, prima facie, that the petitioners could not have sought specific performance of any of these agreements, but we do not express any final opinion on this since the issue is not directly before us. - For the reasons mentioned above, we decline to grant special leave to appeal to the petitioners for suppression of a material fact and direct the Charity Commissioner to have a fresh look at the sale of the Trust land, subject matter of this petition, in accordance with the directions of the High Court. However, we leave it open to the Charity Commissioner to permit all the parties before it to submit fresh offers for the Trust land and if deemed necessary, a fresh public notice for sale of the Trust land may be issued. On the basis of the bid given by respondent No.1 as disclosed to us in Court, we make it clear that the price for the sale of the Trust land shall not be less than Rs.3.87 crore. 60. The petitioners will pay costs of Rs.15,000/- to the Charity Commissioner within six weeks from today. 61. The petition is disposed of accordingly.
