Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the suit property is Wakf property, emphasizing the legal principles surrounding the nature of Wakf and its management under the Wakf Act. The Court reiterated that the Tamil Nadu Wakf Board has jurisdiction over the appointment of Muthavallis and that the trial Court's decree recognizing the property as a private Wakf was erroneous. The appeal by the Tamil Nadu Wakf Board was dismissed, affirming the High Court's restoration of the trial Court's judgment.
