BHANWAR LAL vs RAJASTHAN BOARD OF MUSLIM WAKF

The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 85 of the Rajasthan Wakf Act, 1995, the Civil Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain suits concerning Wakf properties, which fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Wakf Tribunal. The Court upheld the dismissal of the Revision Petition filed by the Petitioners against the Civil Court's order returning the plaint, affirming that the Respondents' suit was not maintainable in the Civil Court. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the jurisdictional boundaries established by the Act.
