Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Wakf Tribunal has jurisdiction to entertain suits for injunction related to the administration and management of wakf properties, including mosques and madrassas, as per Section 83 of the Wakf Act. The Court found that the Kerala High Court erred in ruling that such suits are not maintainable before the Wakf Tribunal, referencing its earlier decision in Ramesh Gobindram (Dead) Through Lrs. v. Sugra Humayun Mirza Wakf, which affirmed the Tribunal's jurisdiction. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the decree of the Wakf Tribunal, allowing the injunction sought by the appellant.
