"Naam mein kya rakha hai (what is in a name)," he Bombay High Court remarked in a significant ruling regarding the naming of charitable organisations, dismissing an order from the Maharashtra Charity Commissioner that prohibited certain terms associated with anti-corruption and human rights in their titles, reported news agency PTI.
