What we handle

Trust & Society Governance

Constitution of managing committees, disputes among trustees, and the returns a society must file.

What we do

Typical matters

  • Constitution and reconstitution of the managing committee
  • Disputes among trustees and members of the society
  • Amendment of the memorandum, rules and trust deed
  • Annual returns and filings under the Societies Registration Act
  • Removal of office bearers and rival claims to management
  • Succession and control of institutional property

Most governance disputes reach the education authorities before they reach a court: a rival group writes to the Directorate, and the recognition of the school becomes the battleground for a dispute about who controls the society.

We act for the body in lawful management, in the proceedings before the Registrar and the education authorities as well as in the civil suits and writ petitions that follow.
