The Haryana Public Wakfs (Extension of Limitation) Act, 1987

Civil19873 sections

This Haryana state law regulates the legal recovery of assets that constitute a wakf—an endowment of immovable property dedicated permanently for religious or charitable purposes under Muslim Law. It provides a procedural provision that extends the standard time limits (created by the Indian Limitation Act) for filing lawsuits to possess such property. By clarifying the definition of a "public wakf" as a permanent dedication by a Muslim for recognized public purposes, the Act aims to prevent legal technicalities from causing the loss of valuable religious and charitable assets throughout the state.
