Minority Trustees Challenge Bombay Parsi Punchayet's Housing Tenancy Conversion
Three minority trustees of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) have approached the Charity Commissioner challenging the majority board's June 9 decision to convert leave-and-licence housing agreements into tenancies. They allege unanswered questions, withheld documents, and concerns over protecting trust properties and donor intentions. The majority trustees, including chairman Viraf Mehta, defend the move as beneficial to residents, with tenancy registrations already underway for some occupants across BPP colonies in Mumbai.
