No. 637 of 1990 on the file of the Principal Subordinate Judge at Madurai.
1. The plaintiff is the appellant.
2. The plaintiff filed a suit for declaration that the suit schedule properties are Wakf properties and for recovery of possession from the defendants.

The irreversibility of wakf property transactions based on the Wakf Act's provisions prohibits alienation, upholding the integrity of religious and charitable purposes over contested claims.
The Wakf Tribunal has exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate disputes regarding wakf properties, and the High Court should not interfere in such matters.
In a suit for declaration of title, the plaintiff must prove ownership; failure to do so, coupled with defendants' adverse possession, results in dismissal.
