Dispute Relating To Members And Management Of Public Trusts Not Arbitrable, Must File Suit U/S 92 CPC : Allahabad High Court

The Allahabad High Court has determined that disputes involving public trusts are not arbitrable under the Arbitration Act. This ruling is significant as it clarifies that matters related to public trusts, which often involve issues of public interest and fiduciary duties, must be adjudicated through the court system rather than arbitration. The decision emphasizes that arbitration may not be suitable for resolving complex public trust disputes due to the need for public accountability and judicial oversight. This judgment aims to ensure that disputes involving public trusts, which can impact the broader community, are handled with the appropriate level of scrutiny and procedural formality provided by the judicial system.
