(b) the trust property is not being properly managed or administered or (c) the direction of the Court is necessary for the administration of the public trust. he may, after giving the working trustee an opportunity of being heard, direct such working trustee or any other trustee or person having interest in the trust to apply to the court for directions, within such time not exceeding thirty days as may be specified by the Assistant Commissioner. 2.
