3. Following are the relevant facts:

The appellant-writ petitioner is a public charitable trust which was constituted on 14-1-1972 by a Deed of Trust executed by Prince Muffakham Jah. The corpus of the Trust consisted of a building known as 'Mahbob Mansion' situate at Malakpet, Hyderabad with the adjoining structures and appurtenant land of about Ac. 42-00. The said property was made over to the Trust by means of a registered 'Indenture' executed by the donor Prince Muffakham Jah on 20th March 1972. It appears that even by that time the trustees were negotiating with the Andhra Pradesh Housing Board for the sale of the said property and this fact is evident from the recitals in the Indenture. One of the trustees, Ataur Rehman who has filed the present writ petition was authorised by the other two trustees, namely, Prince Muffakham Jah and Sri Nadhirshah Mulla, to act, plead and represent for and on their behalf in all the proceedings relating to the disposal and acquisition of 'Mahboob Mansion'. This authorisation was given on 25,r3-1972. An agreement was executed on 3rd July 1972 by the Trustee, Sri Ataur Rehman acting on behalf of the Trust. The other party to the agreement is the Andhra Pradesh Housing Board represented by its Chairman.
