Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the Wakf Act, 1954 in relation to a specific performance suit concerning wakf property. The Court held that the authority of Mujavars to sell wakf property is contingent upon obtaining permission from the Wakf Board as per Section 43 of the Wakf Act. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's decision was set aside, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with statutory provisions governing wakf properties.
