The Madras High Court ruled that simply using the words “Waqf” or “Mosque” in a title deed is not enough to prove dedication of property as a public waqf. The Court held that if ownership and income remain with family members, the property will be treated as a private waqf or family trust.
The Orissa High Court upheld eviction of a married son and daughter-in-law from their mother’s self-acquired house, ruling they have no legal right to stay against her wishes. Justice A.C. Behera dismissed their second appeal, affirming earlier courts’ eviction orders.
