JUDGEMENT

- (1.) HAFIZ Abdul Karim executed three waqf deeds in 1917 and 1918. Notification was issued by the Central Board constituted under the Muslim Waqfs Act (U. P. Act NO. 13 of 1936) on 26-2-1944, under Section 5, Sub-section (1) of the Act, that the provisions of the Act would apply to these three waqfs. Badrul Islam, the mutwalli under the three waqf deeds, instituted a suit against the Sunni Central Boards of Waqfs for a declaration that these waqfs were exempt from the operation of the Muslim Waqfs Act. The Civil Judge did not agree with the contention for the plaintiff and dismissed the suit.
