Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the registration of a Dargah as Wakf under the Wakf Act, 1954 and the subsequent amendments under the Wakf Act, 1995. The Court held that the Madhya Pradesh Wakf Tribunal had jurisdiction to frame a management scheme for the Dargah, and that the private parties' admission regarding the property being declared Wakf was significant. The Court dismissed the appeals, affirming the High Court's ruling that the Tribunal's actions were lawful and within its jurisdiction.
