Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Tamil Nadu Wakf Board against the High Court's decision in S.A. No. 641 of 1996, which restored the trial Court's judgment declaring the suit property as a private wakf. The Court emphasized the importance of the original intent behind the property conveyance and the role of the Wakf Board in recognizing hereditary trustees. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming that the suit property does not belong to the Wakf Board, thereby maintaining the trial Court's decree.
