Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Delhi High Court's order dismissing the Plaintiff's application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court held that the Appellant, as the senior most male direct successor of the Wakif Mutawalli, had the right to assume the role of Chief Mutawalli after the death of Abdul Mueed. The Court granted interim reliefs including the release of salaries and the operation of bank accounts, emphasizing the need for proper governance of the Wakf property under the Wakf Deed dated 28.08.1948.
