Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the jurisdictional scope of the Tribunal constituted under the Wakf Act, 1995, in a dispute involving the use of a portion of a privately developed apartment complex as a mosque. The respondent claimed public religious use of the mosque area, while the appellants contested the obstruction of such use. The Court addressed conflicting precedents regarding the Tribunal's authority over such property disputes involving Wakf properties. Ultimately, the Court clarified the extent of the Tribunal's jurisdiction in matters concerning Wakf properties and religious use within private developments.
