The Haryana Public Wakfs (Extension of Limitation) Act, 1987 (10 of1988

Civil19873 sections

This Act applies to Muslim public religious and charitable properties, known as public wakfs, within the Indian state of Haryana. It regulates the legal time frame for filing lawsuits to reclaim the possession of these properties if they were illegally occupied or taken over by others during the partition period between August 14, 1947, and May 7, 1954. By extending the deadline for filing these recovery lawsuits to December 31, 1990, the law matters because it gave wakf managers a critical window to recover valuable public community assets, preventing the permanent loss of dedicated religious and charitable lands.
