Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's omission to consider certain arguments raised by the appellant cannot be a ground for appeal unless it is demonstrably proved. The Court emphasized that the Bihar Waqfs Act, specifically Section 27(2)(h), allows for the removal of a Mutawalli for disobedience of orders issued by the Majlis, even if those orders were given prior to the amendment. The Court upheld the authority of the Majlis to act on past conduct, affirming that no vested rights were violated in the removal of the appellant as Mutawalli due to established mismanagement.
