Ownership & propriety

Dear Aru Divine,

The Ashram Trust is a duly constituted legal body and the trustees are the owners like in a private limited company. The bye-law tilts a bit too much in favour of the managing trustee, and as a result, he has been successful in defying the popular sentiment against him.  The residents are at his mercy for their livelihood and hence incapable of expressing their resentment in a forceful manner.

Outsiders too are mere spectators as they can’t interfere in the internal affairs of the trust. The legal route, as Rout contemplated, is too protracted and uncertain. In such a scenario, therefore, it is difficult to expect any favourable rectification. You are, however, free to voice your opinion on the matter. [TNM]
