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.
Today, On 19th February, The Supreme Court of India has stayed the Madras High Court order that halted the Tamil Nadu Waqf Board’s powers. It stated, “Issue Notice… board has been made defunct is stayed, and the state government must propose constitution.”
