Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Wakf Tribunal, established under Section 83 of the Wakf Act, 1995, has the jurisdiction to adjudicate disputes regarding the eviction of tenants from Wakf properties. The Court affirmed the decisions of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, which upheld the Tribunal's authority to entertain such matters, emphasizing that the exclusion of Civil Court jurisdiction is applicable to disputes related to Wakf properties. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the Tribunal's competence in these cases.
