‘Land Dedicated for Religious Purpose Not Immune From Its Vesting With State’: Supreme Court Quashes AP Wakf Board Notification Declaring 1654 Acres Land As Wakf Property
Case: State Of Andhra Pradesh (Now State Of Telangana) Vs A.P. State Wakf Board
Coram: Justices Hemant Gupta and V. Ramasubramanian
Case No.: CA 10770 OF 2016
Court Observation: “These provisions do not take away the right of the State to acquire property belonging to religious denominations. Those denominations can own, acquire properties and administer them in accordance with law. That does not mean that the property owned by them cannot be acquired. As a result of acquisition they cease to own that property. Thereafter their right to administer that property ceases because it is no longer their property. Article 26 does not interfere with the right of the State to acquire property.”
