Supreme Court questions Waqf institution's plea for court fees exemption in tribunals

The Supreme Court questioned the legal foundation for Waqf institutions to be exempt from paying court fees. This came up during a hearing concerning a Gujarat High Court decision. The High Court had previously ruled that Waqf institutions must pay court fees for cases before the State Waqf Tribunal. Petitioners sought more time to present their arguments challenging this ruling.
