What is this about?

Writ petitions challenged a Deputy Charity Commissioner's order condoning delay subject to costs payable personally by the trustees. The High Court held that personal liability on trustees requires exceptional reasons such as misfeasance, fraud or gross negligence, none of which were assigned. Rule was made absolute to the extent the impugned order directed trustees to pay costs personally.
