The Supreme Court of India on June 4, 2025, dismissed an appeal filed by the Delhi Waqf Board seeking possession of a pre-independence gurdwara property. The court ordered the Delhi Waqf Board to relinquish its claim over the gurdwara, effectively nullifying the board's legal pursuit of the property. This ruling resolves the dispute in favor of retaining the gurdwara's current status and ownership. Additionally, on the same day, the Supreme Court nullified a Kebbi State High Court decision that had reinstated Al-Mustapha Jokolo as the 19th Emir of Gwandu, overturning the local court's ruling.
