L. Janakirama Iyer And Others vs P. M. Nilakanta Iyer And Others on 26 October, 1961

19. Lewin on "Trusts" has observed that "in the case of co-trustees the office is a joint one. Where the administration of the trust is vested in co- trustees they all form as it were but one collective trustee, and therefore must execute the duties of the office in their joint capacity. It is not uncommon to hear one of several trustees spoken of as the acting trustee but the Court knows no such distinction; all who accept the office are in the eye of the law acting trustees. If anyone refuses or be incapable to join, it is not competent for the others to proceed without him, but the administration of the trust must in that case devolve upon the Court. However, the act of one trustee done with the sanction and approval of a co-trustee may be regarded as the act of both. But such sanction or approval must be strictly proved".

Homi Nariman Bhiwandiwala vs Zoroastrian Co-Operative Credit Bank ... on 15 January, 2001

20. True in the decision in Homi Nariman Bhiwandiwala vs. The Zoroastrian Co-operative Credit Bank Ltd. and another (AIR 2001 Bombay 267), it was held that in the said case the defendant-Trust was not a separate legal entity. If that be the position, all the trustees should be joined if a legal action is initiated against the trust. What was considered in the decision in Nagar Wachan Mandir, Pandharpur through its Chairman, President and another vs. M/s. Akabaralli R.S.A No.633/2013 16 Abdulhusen & Sons and others (1994 (2) Bom.C.R. 251) was that unless instrument of Trust provides that someone would be authorised to act on behalf of the Trust, suit filed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Trust, even if it is registered under the Societies Registration Act, is not maintainable. What is significant is that the decision recognises the fact that the body of trustees can authorise through bylaws any person to represent the Trust.
