Article 92 of the Costitution of India with Case law
Article 92 of the Constitution of India does not exist. The Constitution of India contains only 395 Articles (originally 395, now more than 470 due to amendments), organized into 25 Parts.
However, it's possible that you're referring to:
Article 92 of the Indian Constitution pre-draft versions, or
A Section 92 of some other law, like the Indian Penal Code, Civil Procedure Code, or Companies Act.
If you meant Section 92 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (CPC):
This is a very important provision related to public charitable and religious trusts.
🧾 Section 92, CPC – Public Charitable and Religious Trusts
This section allows two or more persons to file a suit in the principal civil court for directions or remedies concerning public trusts when there's:
Allegation of breach of trust,
Need for directions from the court regarding the trust’s administration.
⚖️ Important Case Law:
Vidya Varuthi Thirtha v. Balusami Ayyar (1922)
Held that the manager of a religious trust has fiduciary duties, and the court can intervene under Section 92.
R.M. Narayana Chettiar v. N. Lakshmanan Chettiar (1991)
The Supreme Court clarified that Section 92 applies only to public trusts, not private ones.
Kalyanasundaram v. Karuppa Mooppanar (1927)
Emphasized that the court can remove trustees and appoint new ones in cases of mismanagement.
