to the Muslim Private Law, which is basically Shariah based, and
Administration of Christian institutions is done according to the
Indian Trust Act, 1882. For Sikh religious institutions, the

regulations established by their own respective communities. The law
made for administration of religious endowments is the Religious
Endowments Act, 1863. This act was applicable to all religious
endowments, irrespective of the religion but now only for Hindus.
However, some states have their own acts to administrate religious
endowments such as Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable
Endowments Act, 1959, the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu
Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987, the Uttar Pradesh
Hindu Religious Charitable Endowments Act, 1961,The Orissa Hindu
Religious Endowments Act ,1951.

1991’ ,it is made so that to reduce communal violence but their have
been many petitions against it. The most famous cases are the
Ayodhya dispute, Gyanvapi case ,Mathura dispute,etc.
