WAQF BOARD, & AK—49
IS YOUR LANDED PROPERTY SECURED
SARASIJ MAJUMDER
I am sure most of you would have already seen the video of
Arvind Kejriwal wherein he said that Ambani's House, Antilia is built on Waqf
board property & if it was his government in Maharashtra, he would have
demolished Ambani's House & given the land back to Waqf board.
We all laughed at Arvind Kejriwal & moved on, without
considering the depth of this topic which Kejriwal is well aware of.
A sane person would have said how can a land which belonged
to a trust for over 100 years later bought by Ambani through a public auction can
still be a Waqf board land. But Kejriwal wants to legitimate Waqf land grab
scam.
According to an estimate, around 77 percent of New Delhi
stands on Waqf lands, including the land on which our Supreme Court building is
made. Kejriwal knows it.
Waqf is a
type of charitable endowment in Islamic law where the ownership of a
property is transferred to Allah and the property is permanently
dedicated for religious or charitable purposes.
Prior to the enactment of Waqf Act, 1995, the following laws
dealt with the administration and supervision of waqfs:
- Waqf
Act 1954
- U.P
Waqf Act, 1950
- Bengal
Waqf Act, 1934
- Bihar
Waqf Act, 1947
- Bombay
Public Trust Act, 1950
- Dargah
Khwaja Saheb Act, 1955
The Waqf Act 1995 provides for the establishment of a Board
of Waqfs for each state.
Central Waqf Council, India is an Indian statutory body established in 1964 by
the Government of India under Waqf Act, 1954 (now a subsection the Waqf Act,
1995) for the purpose of advising it on matters pertaining to working of the
State Waqf Boards and proper administration of the Waqfs in the country.
Wakf is detention which is permanent and binding and
enforceable by law also, any person interested may seek a remedy in Civil
Court. Office of mutawalli is very important in waqf, power can be exercised
when there is a clear vacancy of mutawalli ship or there is a dispute as to
competence or eligibility of existing mutawalli. A Muslim Wakf is distinguished from an English trust or a
Hindu endowment of dharma.
The
Supreme Court of India has held that conducting a survey u/s 4 of the Waqf Act,
1954, before declaring a property as “Wakf property” is the sine qua non, an
indispensable requirement.
Now the question, if Delhi is given full statehood, and
Kejriwal remains C.M. will Kejriwal fulfil his promise of returning waqf board
land to waqf board? Will Supreme Court be demolished? Will Hindus have to give
up their lands?
Waqf Board claims that once a Waqf property, it continues to
remain a Waqf property till eternity. Waqf Board’s lawyer Dushyant Dave also
argued that Waqf Act is an overriding law and there are no legislative powers
over it.
So, once nation divided in 1947 on the name of religion
however all those properties which were termed as waqf property (those
properties now belong to Allah) before partition have become waqf property
permanently. Waqf is the third largest land owner in India.
Can you believe this?
The way waqf board has grabbed lands using the previous
government, the situation is extremely dangerous. People like Kejriwal can go
to any extent for their greed.
So, not just BJP but every citizen of India must be afraid
of Kejriwal, and politicians alike him. It is the politicians like him who feed Tahir Hussain & Amanatullah who are ready to attack INDIA as
the right time arrives for them.
May be your house is also located on waqf land. Registration
certificate issued won't have any value because Waqf Act is an overriding law.
Even if your house land was a waqf land in 1850, you may lose its ownership.
It is better if you understand the concept in depth.
