Property Disputes and Jurisdiction of Tribunal under Waqf Act Explained by Supreme Court

When property is not specified in the ‘list of auqaf’ as published in Chapter II nor registered under Chapter V of Waqf Act, 1985 then the decision as to whether the property is a waqf property or not cannot be decided by the Tribunal since the property is not one specified in the ‘list of auqaf’, which is the mandatory requirement under S. 6(1) and S. 7(1) of the Waqf Act of 1995 to approach the Tribunal.
