Liability of Waqf Authorities in Auditing Accounts - Under the Wakf Act, 1995, the Wakf Board is mandated to ensure proper maintenance and auditing of Waqf accounts. Section 47 explicitly states that the accounts submitted by Waqf institutions must be audited by designated officers, such as the Senior Accounts Officer. The Board has the authority to examine these audits, call for further explanations, and take necessary actions in case of irregularities. Failure to submit accurate or timely accounts can lead to legal scrutiny and intervention by the Board or Tribunal.

Responsibility and Liability of Mutawallis (Waqf Managers) - Mutawallis are responsible for the proper management of Waqf properties and maintaining accurate accounts.

Jurisdiction of Civil Courts vs. Wakf Tribunal - The Wakf Act establishes the Wakf Tribunal as the specialized authority for disputes related to Waqf management and property. Civil courts generally lack jurisdiction over matters specifically assigned to the Tribunal under Sections 83-85, especially regarding audit and management disputes. Proper legal recourse involves approaching the Wakf Tribunal for resolution.
