Bombay HC clarifies that a former Karta’s sale of ancestral property after partition is valid only to the extent of his share, not the entire coparcenary property. The ruling reinforces coparcenary rights and limits the Karta’s authority post-partition, impacting property disputes under Hindu succession law.

Uttarakhand High Court rules that trust-owned properties reconstructed after 1984 are exempt from the U.P. Rent Act, even if the original structure predated the cutoff. The tenant’s admission of trust ownership estopped any challenge to the exemption, reinforcing landlords’ eviction rights over charitable or religious properties.

Bombay High Court holds that Section 41A of the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act does not empower Charity Commissioners to order public apologies unrelated to trust property or income.
