Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decree of the Allahabad High Court declaring the property in dispute as Wakf under the provisions of the Muhammadan Law. The Court found that the deeds executed by Smt. Zohra Bibi and her husband, Haji Mohammed Siddiq, were valid and established a Wakf, despite the defendant's claims regarding the nature of the property. The Court emphasized that the intention to create a Wakf was clear and upheld the plaintiffs' rights as Mutwallis, thereby affirming the lower court's decision.
