The Bombay High Court has proposed the appointment of a committee of administrators to oversee the Lilavati Kiritlal Mehta Medical Trust (LKMMT), which operates the Lilavati Hospital in Bandra, Mumbai. This decision comes amid a contentious legal battle between factions of the Mehta family, who are trustees of the trust. The court's special division bench, led by Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Ravindra Ghuge, noted that the trust's operations have been severely affected by ongoing litigation and serious allegations of misappropriation of funds. The Income Tax department has pointed out significant irregularities during searches at the trust premises, leading to the cancellation of the trust's registration. The court has ordered all parties involved to file their responses within four weeks, with further hearings set for June 12, when the appointment of the committee is expected to be finalized. The trust was established in 1978 by Kishor Mehta in honor of his mother, and it currently faces criminal proceedings involving both current and former trustees.
