Challenging Wakf Board Decisions - Decisions by the Wakf Board regarding the Wakf status of a property can be challenged in Civil Courts, but the initial determination lies within the Board’s jurisdiction SUSHEELA VS KARNATAKA BOARD OF WAKFS - Karnataka.
Analysis and Conclusion
The primary jurisdiction over whether a property is Wakf or not rests with the Wakf Board, as per statutory provisions under the Wakf Act. Civil Courts generally lack jurisdiction to decide on the Wakf status itself but may adjudicate related disputes such as eviction or management issues after the Wakf status is established. The statutory framework emphasizes that disputes concerning the Wakf property’s status should be referred to the Wakf Board, with decisions subject to challenge in Civil Courts.
