MUSLIM MEMBER OF STATE BAR COUNCIL CAN'T CONTINUE IN WAQF BOARD AFTER END OF TERM IN BAR COUNCIL

A Muslim Bar Council member elected to the Waqf Board cannot continue as a Board member once their Bar Council term ends. The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and upheld the appellant's appointment. This judgment provides clarity on Section 14 of the Wakf Act, 1995, affirming that a Bar Council representative's tenure on the Waqf Board is co-terminus with their membership in the Bar Council.
