Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the Allahabad High Court's affirmation of a Waqf Tribunal's order regarding land possession under the Waqf Act, 1995. The Tribunal had set aside the Collector's order, which was based on a requisition from the Waqf Board, on the grounds that the first respondent had perfected title by adverse possession. The court upheld the Tribunal's decision, emphasizing the legal principles surrounding adverse possession in the context of Waqf properties.
