Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that a civil suit for permanent injunction is not barred by Section 85 of the Waqf Act, 1995. The court reasoned that the provisions of the Waqf Act do not preclude civil courts from adjudicating matters related to encroachment and possession of property. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's jurisdiction in the matter.
