#Muharram procession

Andhra Pradesh High Court rules that police protection for religious processions under Waqf Board orders cannot be withheld due to pending property disputes. The judgment underscores that administrative permissions remain valid unless overturned by a competent court, ensuring uninterrupted religious practices.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that a hereditary claim to mutawalli succession under the Waqf Act, 1995, must be substantiated by a statutory enquiry report, not just familial ties. The decision reinforces that Waqf Board determinations under Section 61 prevail over unproven assertions, impacting succession disputes in religious endowments.
