Our Jain temple trust in Rohini is being mismanaged, what does the state Jain temple trust law provide?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Jain temple trusts are governed by Delhi Rent Control Act 1958 and the state's charity commissioner's oversight applicable in Rohini. The Delhi High Court has held that the charity commissioner can regulate the trust's administration without interfering in religious practice.

You can file a complaint with the charity commissioner seeking audit and removal of defaulting trustees. The trust must maintain accounts and submit annual returns to the commissioner.

Alienation of trust property requires prior permission of the commissioner. The commissioner can frame a scheme of administration if the trust's deed is silent.

Orders of the commissioner are appealable to the Delhi High Court.
