#Waqf Act 1995

The Madras High Court has ruled that any decree passed without joining the Wakf Board as a mandatory party under Section 90 of the Waqf Act, 1995 is legally void ab initio - regardless of the suit’s merits or elapsed time. This sets a binding precedent for all property disputes involving waqf properties, requiring strict compliance with statutory joinder to avoid nullification of judgments.

MP High Court rules that a waqf notification issued without complying with the mandatory survey requirement under Section 4 of the Waqf Act, 1995 is null and void from inception. The judgment underscores statutory compliance as a precondition for valid waqf declarations, impacting property disputes involving waqf boards.
