(!) (!) (!) (!) . - The binding effect and conclusivity of revenue-record classifications (Gair Mumkin Kabaristan/Maqbooza Ahle Islam) and the validity/impact of Section 5 Wakf Act notifications in tandem with Syed Mohd. Salie Labbai and Gram Jamalpur jurisprudence (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) . - The relationship between Shamilat Deh entries vs. Gair Mumkin Kabaristan entries and which controls; whether Punjab Act 1953 prevails over Central Wakf Act in these matters, and the scope of Article 31-A protections (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) . - Consequence of non-notice to Gram Panchayat prior to Wakf notifications and the impact on validity of those notifications (!)
