The Haryana Public Wakfs (Extension of Limitation) Act, 1982

Civil19823 sections

This legislation specifically modifies the time limits for filing lawsuits to recover possession of immovable properties dedicated as public wakfs for religious or charitable purposes within Haryana. It extends the legal period for such possession claims to December 31, 1985, enabling individuals who were dispossessed of these religious properties between 1947 and 1954 to seek recovery through courts despite the usual 3-year time limit. The act benefits Muslim property owners with valid religious or charitable claims by preventing legal defeats due to expired statutes of limitation, ensuring that legitimate cases involving classical religious properties are not permanently barred by technical administrative time restrictions.
