Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950 | Only Enrolled Members with Paid Life Fees May Vote in Managing Committee Elections; Outgoing Committees Barred from Post-Term Admissions : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that membership validity for voting in public trust elections hinges on documented payment of life fees and unchallenged enrollment. Outgoing managing committees lose all authority upon term expiry and cannot admit new members or conduct elections, ensuring democratic continuity and preventing post-term manipulation of trust governance.
