6. We have no doubts that the State Government is empowered to appoint the Managing Committee for Shree Sai Baba Sansthan, Shirdi. However, the peculiar circumstances in which we had passed an order on 9th October, 2019, especially the reproduced paragraphs 12, 13 and 14, would indicate that this Court had brought a Committee into existence to supervise, monitor and administer the Sansthan and its financial affairs. The learned Principal District Judge, Ahmednagar, the Collector, Ahmednagar, the Chief Executive Officer of the Sansthan, one delegatee of the Charity Commissioner, State of Maharashtra, not below the rank of an Assistant Charity Commissioner and the Additional Commissioner, Nasik Division, Nasik were members of the Committee that we had constituted. We had thus empowered the Committee to administer the Sansthan and the Committee was performing its functions under the orders of this Court passed in the PIL from time to time. When we had brought a committee into existence and had empowered it to function and administer the Sansthan, prima facie, no other Managing Committee could have dislodged the Committee that we had constituted, on the plea of the Government having declared the formation of the new Committee. In short, the new Committee could not have taken charge without obtaining orders from this Court as we would then be required to discharge the Committee that we had constituted.
