Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's ruling that a suit for injunction was not maintainable before a Wakf Tribunal, referencing Section 83 of the Wakf Act and the precedent in Ramesh Gobindram (Dead) Through Lrs. v. Sugra Humayun Mirza Wakf. The Court established that the Wakf Tribunal has jurisdiction over disputes related to the management and enjoyment of Wakf properties, thereby allowing the appellant's suit to proceed. The High Court's decision was deemed erroneous, and the matter was remitted for consideration on merits.
