Summary
The Save India Foundation challenged a 1980 notification by the Delhi Wakf Board that listed certain properties as wakf properties, claiming they were acquired by the Delhi Government in 1977 for development. The Wakf Board argued that the challenge was not maintainable due to the significant delay and that the properties had been properly designated as wakf after due process. The Delhi High Court ultimately ruled against the petitioner, stating that the case was an attempt to revisit settled matters after a long period and lacked sufficient legal basis.
