New Delhi:
‘The Waqf (Amendment) Bill,
2010’, seeking to strengthen and improve the management and
administration of the Waqfs in India has been considered and passed
unanimously by the Lok Sabha May 7, 2010.
The all-important bill was introduced
in the Lok Sabha on 27th April, 2010,
Highlights of the Bill are as follows:
1. For reducing the scope of alienation of waqf properties by
prohibiting the sale and gift of waqf properties;
2. Stringent penal provisions to prevent encroachments and to
streamline the process of removal of encroachments;
3. For increasing the maximum permissible period of lease or
sub-lease of waqf properties from three years, as at present, to
thirty years so that the waqf properties are developed in such a way
as to derive maximum benefits and to apply the income to the aims
for which the wakf was created in the first place;
4. Specific time frame for completion of survey of auqaf and to
ensure that the list of auqaf based on the survey data is
appropriately reflected while updating the land records by the
revenue authorities;
5. For change in the composition of the Central Waqf Council and
State Waqf Boards so as to provide for representation of women,
professionals and experts in the Council or Boards;
6. Providing statutory power of monitoring to the Central Waqf
Council and to authorize it to issue directives and advice in
specific cases to State Waqf Boards;
7. For constituting Tribunals, for the determination of all
disputes, questions and other matters relating to waqf or waqf
properties, as a three -member body consisting of a person not below
the rank of District, Session or Civil Judge Class I as the Chairman
and two other members, namely, an officer from the State Civil
Service equivalent in rank to that of Additional District Magistrate
and another person having knowledge of Muslim law and jurisprudence.
