Indian Trusts Act, 1882
74. Appointment by court
Whenever any such vacancy or disqualification occurs and it is
found impracticable to appoint a new trustee under section 73, the beneficiary
may, without instituting a suit, apply by petition to a principal civil court
of original jurisdiction for the appointment of a trustee or a new trustee, and
the court may appoint a trustee or a new trustee accordingly.
Rule for selecting new trustees : In appointing new
trustees, the court shall have regard (a) to the wishes of the author of the
trust as expressed in or to be inferred from the instrument of trust; (b) to
the wishes of the person, if any, empowered to appoint new trustees; (c) to the
question whether the appointment will promote or impede the execution of the
trust; and (d) where there are more beneficiaries than one, to the interests of
all such beneficiaries.
