Wakf Law

Wakf property, management and tribunal matters, handled by advocates who practise in this field.

Wakf matters combine religious endowment law with land and revenue records. We bring both together for mutawallis, committees and beneficiaries.

Wakf properties are governed by the Wakf Act, 1995, as amended, and disputes are heard by the Karnataka State Wakf Tribunal. We advise mutawallis, managing committees, institutions and individuals.

Our work covers registration, records, encroachment and management disputes, and appeals to the High Court.

Common questions

Where are wakf disputes decided?

Disputes about wakf property are generally decided by the Wakf Tribunal, and its orders can be challenged before the High Court.

Can a mutawalli lease wakf property?

Leases are allowed subject to the Wakf Act and the rules of the State Wakf Board, including limits on tenure and approvals. We review proposed leases before they are signed.

The law was recently amended. How does it affect us?

The Wakf Act was amended in 2025. Its effect depends on your property's records and status, so we review them case by case.
