In Brief
The appellant challenged a suit filed under Section 6 of The Wakf Act, 1954 for declaration that a property was Wakf property. The key issue was whether the suit was filed within the prescribed limitation period of one year under the first proviso to Section 6 of the Act. The Courts below held the suit was barred by limitation and hence not maintainable. The Supreme Court found no error in the lower courts' findings and dismissed the appeal, confirming that the suit was correctly held to be time-barred under Wakf Act provisions governing suits for declaring property as Wakf.
