Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over the title and management of a Dargah, determining that the land associated with the Dargah was not subject to state grant and thus not included in the matmi proceedings. The Court held that the customary practices surrounding the nomination of the Sajjadanashin were valid, affirming the legitimacy of the succession as per the established customs. The judgment of the Rajasthan High Court was upheld, allowing the appeal of the respondent and confirming his title and rights over the Dargah.
