The Supreme Court in India has maintained a controversial controversial law to change the property donated by Muslims and how to dominate billions of dollars, but refused to completely destroy the law.
The court was listening to the petitions of Muslim groups and opposition parties on the WAQF (revised) law 2025 enacted by the April Council.
The petitioners say that the law violates the rights of the Muslim community. The government, however, aims to make the management of Muslim real estate known as WAQF more transparent.
In Islam, WAQF is a charity or religious donation made by Muslims with mosque, Madrasas or orphanage. Such properties cannot be sold or used for other purposes.
This characteristic was managed by the WAQF Act in 1995, which mandated the formation of national WAQF boards to manage it.
The new law, introduced by the government’s government, was revised to add new provisions, including changes in the method of determining the WAQF property.
Monday, the Supreme Court of the Indian Supreme Court, BR Gavai and AG Masih, said, “The residence subsidies are the rarest category of the rare category.”
The government, however, stopped the controversial provisions that could determine whether the controversial property was WAQF.
Historically, many real estate donated through oral declarations or community customs has been legalized as a WAQF attribute due to the continuous use of the Muslim community.
According to the government’s data, 872,852 WAQF Real Estate (paper) and at least 13,200 people are intertwined with legal combat, 58,889 people were violated, and more than 436,000 people are unclear.
Under the new law, the WAQF board had to provide a valid document to claim property as WAQF. In the case of dispute, the final decision was with the government.
The court ruled that allowing the government to allow citizens to determine the rights of citizens violated the separation of the authority between the administration and the judiciary mandatory under the Indian Constitution.
Another controversial provision that was abandoned was the provision of the WAQF donor for at least five years.
The WAQF attribute is currently managed by the government’s board of directors and the central council, and is managed with the state government, Muslim councilors, members of the lawyer council, Islamic scholars and candidates of such real estate managers.
The judge refused to nominate non -Muslims to the WAQF Committee, but limited the number of members, not Muslims. Four people in 22 federal committees and 3 on 11 boards.
The court also said, “Efforts should be made to appoint the CEO of the board of directors in the Muslim community.”
The incident reached the best court immediately after the law was passed by the parliament for extensive criticism of Islamic groups and opposition parties.
On May 22, the Supreme Court listened to the case for three days and made a ruling.
