Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Jammu & Kashmir High Court regarding the allotment of land to J.S. Luthra Academy under the J&K Wakf Act, 1978. The Court found that the Academy was legally allotted land for educational purposes after being evicted from Wakf property, and the allotment was not in violation of any statutory provisions. The Court dismissed the appeals challenging the allotment, affirming the legality of the Academy's possession and use of the land for school purposes.
