AHMED ADAM SAIT & OTHERS vs INAYATHULLAH MEKHRI AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court addressed a suit under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, concerning the administration of the Jumma Masjid in Bangalore. The Court held that the mosque and its properties were intended for the benefit of the entire Muslim community, not just the Cutchi Memons, thus rejecting the plea of res judicata raised by the appellants. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to remand the case for framing a new scheme, establishing that prior management did not exclusively represent the interests of one sect of the community.
