The Andhra Pradesh Public Wakfs (Extension of Limitation) (Amendment) Act, 1994

The Andhra Pradesh Public Wakfs (Extension of Limitation) (Amendment) Act, 1994 modifies state law regarding time limits for filing legal claims to recover Wakf properties. It applies to Muslim public religious and charitable endowments, their trustees, and managers across Andhra Pradesh. By extending the limitation period established under the original 1959 legislation, this amendment allows Wakf boards and interested individuals to file lawsuits to reclaim unlawfully occupied or transferred endowment lands. This law matters because it ensures that valuable community properties are not permanently lost to encroachment simply due to procedural delays.
