Such submission cannot be accepted. Had there
been any clause in the Trust Deed for removal of Trustee or
a person holding the post of Secretary etc., the plaintiffs
would have taken appropriate action for removal of the
Secretary in accordance with such clause in the Trust Deed.
In the absence of such clause relating to removal of office
bearer from the post which he is holding or from the post of
a Trustee, the only course open to the plaintiffs is to
approach the Civil Court for appropriate relief under Section
92 of CPC. The plaintiffs have got every right to approach
the Civil Court to obtain a decree for removing the
defendant No.1 as a Trustee and for appointing a new
Trustee. So also the plaintiffs can approach the Civil Court
for removal of the defendant No.1 from the post of
Secretary and to appoint another person as Secretary in his
16
place. It is also open for the plaintiffs to seek direction
for production of the accounts and to hold enquiry. Since
the plaintiffs can approach the Civil Court under Section 92
of CPC, they have rightly approached the Civil Court for
appropriate reliefs {see L. SHIVALINGAIAH .vs.
PANCHAJANYA VIDYA PEETHA WELFARE TRUST (REGD.),
BANGALORE AND OTHERS - (2007)5 KLJ 625}. Hence the
observations of the Civil Court that the Trustee shall hold
the office for life, despite any proved allegation against the
Trustee, is not just and proper.
