HC dissolves Maha Wakf Board

Maharashtra State Wakf Board, which administers all Muslim religious trusts, on Thursday dissolved by the Bombay High Court, after being held “defective”.

A division bench of Justices D K Deshmukh and Anoop Mohta, while passing the order, held that the board was constituted without taking into consideration relevant data indicating the total number of Muslim religious charitable trusts and their categorisation among Shia and Sunni Wakfs.
