84. Tribunal to hold proceedings expeditiously and to furnish to the parties copies of its decision
Whenever an application is made to a Tribunal for the determination of any dispute, question or other matter relating to a waqf or waqf property it shall hold its proceedings as expeditiously as possible and shall as soon as practicable, on the conclusion of the hearing of such matter give its decision in writing within six months from the date of application and furnish a copy of such decision to each of the parties to the dispute:
Provided that if the matter is not decided within six months, the Tribunal may decide the matter within a further period of six months for the reasons to be recorded in writing as to why the matter was not decided within the said period of six months.
Note: The six-month decision timeline and the proviso were inserted by the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
