Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Kerala High Court's rejection of a petition to quash a criminal complaint. The appellants argued that the premises in question were leased long before the Wakf Act came into force, and there was a dispute regarding the nature of the property as a wakf or a private trust. The court found that the legal complexities surrounding the property ownership and the existence of a trust did not warrant quashing the complaint, thereby upholding the lower court's decision.
