Court may grant relief to persons aggrieved in certain circumstances

27. Court may grant relief to persons aggrieved in certain circumstances



(1) A member of a Trust who complains that the affairs of the Trust are being
conducted in a manner oppressive to one or more of the members (including
himself) may apply to the Supreme Court for an order under this section and,
if the Court is of opinion that the affairs of the Trust are being so
conducted and that it would be just and equitable to make an order under this
section, the Court may make such order as the Court thinks fit whether for
regulating the affairs of the Trust in future or for the purchase of the
shares of any members by other members or by the Trust, or otherwise.

(2) Any person (whether a member of a Trust or not) who is aggrieved by
anything which the Trust has done or failed to do in contravention of this Act
may apply to the Supreme Court for an order under this section and, if the
Court is of the opinion that the Trust has contravened this Act and that the
person aggrieved has suffered injustice on that account, the Court may make
such order as appears to the Court to be necessary to give proper relief to
the person aggrieved.
