Srinivasa Reddiar And Ors. vs P. Krishnaswami Reddiar And Ors. on 10 September, 1954

It was further contended by learned counsel for the appellants that the Magistrate acting under Section 87, Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act cannot be considered to be a tribunal within the meaning of Article 227.

Unless a notice is given to a party affected, the Magistrate may be misled or the necessary facts may not be brought before him. It may be that the certificate Is a forgery, it may be that the petitioner is not a person who has been appointed by the Commissioner as a trustee. Many circumstances can be visualised where it would be necessary for the aggrieved party to appear end put forward his case before the Magistrate.
