Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court regarding the registration of the mosque and its properties, affirming that the mosque was a Sunni Wakf property under the U.P. Sunni Central Board of Wakf. The Court found that the Sunni sect had historically maintained and managed the mosque, and thus the registration by the Shia Wakf Board was declared null and void under the Wakf Act. The Court emphasized the importance of historical management in determining the rightful ownership of Wakf properties.
