Case Summary: Punjab Wakf Board v. Surjit Singh (C.A. No. 3179/2009) The Supreme Court dismissed Punjab Wakf Board's appeal challenging the High Court's rejection of its claim that disputed properties in Punjab vested with the Board as Wakf property. The Court found that all authorities, including the Custodian General, had established that the land was never dedicated as Wakf property—it remained under Shamlat Deh/individual ownership until partition in 1947, when it became evacuee property. No evidence supported the Board's assertion of Wakf status or the Custodian's determination as such. The judgment was pronounced on July 11, 2017.
