Ahmad Husain vs Kallu Mian Sajhi Firm on 29 January, 1929

It is for this reason that the corpus of the property in a waqf according to Abu Yasuf, vests in the ownership of God. This view is supported by the opinion of Sir Shah Sulaiman, who sitting with Kendall, J. held that a dedication in favour of God is "a transfer governed by the Transfer of Property Act as God is a juristic person"--Ahmad Husain v. Kallu Mian, AIR 1929 All 277 (K). True it is that a Juristic person is not a living human being and the fact that for some purposes the law invests inanimate objects with the rights of persons would not make juristic persons 'living persons' for 'all' purposes. But if the law makes them capable of holding property, there is no reason why a transfer 'in praesenti' cannot be made in their favour.
