As per case facts, the Smt. Radhika Sinha Institute and Sachchidanand Sinha Library was established through a trust for public benefit. The appellant, a descendant, currently manages it. The State ... of Bihar had previously attempted to acquire the institution, but those efforts were set aside by the Supreme Court. Later, the State enacted an Act to take over the Institute and Library, which the High Court upheld. The question arose whether this Act is manifestly arbitrary, violates Article 14 of the Constitution, and effects a confiscatory acquisition offending Article 300A. Finally, the Supreme Court declared the Act unconstitutional, finding it manifestly arbitrary. The Court noted the High Court's error in calling it a public trust without proper basis. The takeover, dissolution of the existing trust, and nominal compensation were found to lack rational justification, especially as there was no demonstrated mismanagement by the trustees and less extreme measures were available. The Court highlighted the State's own supervisory lapses and the Act's disproportionate nature. The Act was struck down, and the Trust's original legal position was restored, though the State can still provide support.
