Kasamsha Ramjanisha Diwan vs Gujarat State Wakf Board & Anr

Bench: 2 — Kurian

In Brief

This case concerns a dispute among trustees of the Bala Pir Trust regarding management of wakf property and donation funds. The Supreme Court upheld an interim arrangement where a Mamlatdar (local revenue officer) oversees the trust's donation box and routine expenses, with participation of trustees from both disputing groups, to preserve the trust property. The Court clarified that no trustee may decide on disposal of immovable property until the underlying dispute is finally resolved. The appeal was disposed of, allowing the appellant time to pursue remedies through appropriate forums while the protective interim order continued for eight weeks.
