Indian Trusts Act, 1882
17. Trustee to be impartial
Where there are more beneficiaries than one, the trustee is
bound to be impartial, and must not execute the trust for the advantage of one
at the expense of another.
Where the trustee has a discretionary power, nothing in this
section shall be deemed to authorize the court to control the exercise
reasonably and in good faith of such discretion.
Illustration
A, a trustee for B, C and D, is empowered to choose between
several specified modes of investing the trust-property. A in good faith
chooses one of these modes. The court will not interfere, although the result
of the choice may be to vary the relative rights of B, C and D.
