KARNATAKA WAKF BOARD vs STATE OF KARNATAKA

The case concerns the legality of including specific properties in the official list of Wakf properties published under Section 5 of the Wakf Act, 1954. The Department of Education and Department of Agriculture challenged the notification, seeking declarations that the inclusion was void and claiming title via adverse possession. The core legal issue pertains to the validity of the Survey Commissioner's findings and the subsequent notification of properties as Wakf.
