Bill seeking changes in Wakf Act in works

By Economic Times - 2 months ago
The Centre is set to introduce a bill in Parliament to amend the Wakf Act, proposing around 40 changes, including limiting the power of Waqf boards to claim land, restructuring board compositions, and ensuring proper verification processes. The bill, approved by the Union Cabinet, aims to address issues like disputed land claims and representation for women in Waqf bodies. This move follows concerns over misuse of authority by state Waqf boards and a case where an entire village was claimed by a board.
