Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Tamil Nadu Wakf Board is entitled to a declaration that the suit property is Wakf property under the provisions of the Wakf Act. The Court ruled that the legal representatives of the original defendant could not claim rights under the Madras City Tenants' Protection Act, 1921, as their rights had ceased due to the 1994 Amendment Act. The Court upheld the trial court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs, affirming their ownership and directing the defendants to vacate the property.
