ABSTRACT
This chapter under Sections 83 to 95 of the Act deals with the establishment of Waqf Tribunals by the State Government, judicial proceedings, expeditious decision of the cases bar on the jurisdiction of the Civil Courts, appointment of receiver, mandatory notice of cases to the Waqf Board, etc. Section 83 empowers the State Government to constitute a Waqf Tribunal. Section 85 of the Act bars the jurisdiction of civil courts. The Waqf Tribunal shall have jurisdiction to try all matters pertaining to the Waqf. Section 7 of the Act says that whether a particular property is a waqf property or not, and whether a waqf specified in the list of waqfs is a Shia Waqf or a Sunni Waqf, it shall be referred to the Waqf Tribunal. With the Waqf Amendment Act 2013, the Waqf Tribunal no longer remains a single-member body.
