The Bombay Parsi Punchayet’s (BPP) five trustees have signed consent terms for the elections to the prestigious body to be held on March 27, 2022. The Punchayet is supposed to have seven trustees. Two seats had been vacant for a while, as one trustee Yezdi Desai had resigned citing ill health. He passed away recently. Another Trustee had passed away.
There are seven seats on the BPP body. The current five trustees, with Armaity Tirandaz as chairperson, will end their terms before the March polls next year, and the community will vote for trustees to the seven seats. Signing of these consent terms, which will be submitted in court on Monday, hopefully brings to a close a tumultuous chapter in the run-up to the proposed elections.
