Waqf Act 1995 (Explained) In this thread u will get to know in simple language- What is Waqf or Wakf ? What is Waqf Act 1995 ? What r powers of Waqf boards ? Can waqf board claim ur home as their property? After reading this thread, U will hate congress n shocked to know 1/22
That such act exists in a secular country. Even no muslim country have such act. What is waqf system ? Its a part of muslim brotherhood charity system. Suppose Ahmed is 80 year old. He has two flats. Before death he wants to donate 1 flat for qaum so he donated 1 flat to waqf
As he donated now that property belongs to Allah. Waqf board is not owner but caretaker of that flat n they can use that flat for mus1im school, hostel, community hall or any for m community So waqf is property of Allah donated for charity for muslim that was actual meaning 3/22
But this meaning changed with time In 1947 hindu left their land in Pak n came to India n Muslim left their in India n went to Pak Pak confiscated all land of hindus in Pak n gave that land to muslims n state govt but Gandhi Nehru did opposite. They said no hindu will touch
land of mus1im who went to pak. They collected all that land n gave to waqf. Waqf board 1954 that act was not as draconian but the real change came in 1995 Congress leader n PM PV Narsimha Rao brought Waqf act 1995 n gave them unlimited powers to acquire lands. 5/22
Lets talk what r the provisions of waqf act: Section 3 (R) What is waqf - any property for any purpose recognised by the Muslim law as pious, religious or charitable So according to Muslim law (not Indian law) if they think that land belongs to muslim that becomes waqf 6/22
So suppose u purchased a land from Ramesh in 2010 and Ramesh purchased that land from Salim in 1965 then waqf board can claim that in 1964 Salim gave that land to waqf n now that is their land. Now what u can do ? U cant go to court......... U have to go to State Waqf Board 7/22
What is waqf board ? In India there r 1 central waqf board n 32 state waqf board Waqf board is committee of 7 person. All that person sud be Muslim. Congress party brought temple act n captured all temples by state n said a non hindu can also become member of temple board but
same congress brought waqf act, kept them autonomous n wrote no non muslim can become part of waqf board. Waqf board have a surveyor who kept surveying all lands and if he thinks any property belong to waqf they can issue notice. Section 4 gives unlimited power to surveyor
Waqf is headed by CEO who must be muslim. Section 28 gives power to waqf CEO to order collector. So as u get notice, u have to take all drawings, registry, paper n have to run to waqf board to convince them it's ur land (Same board who sent u notice) 10/22
Now comes the most draconian article of waqf act Article 40 This article is horrible I m pasting article 40 in english n hindi both. Pl read it. Whether its ur land or waqf land it will be decided by waqf board and their decision will be final So waqf is police waqf is lawyer
waqf is judge So u cud not satisfy waqf that its ur land n u have been asked to vacate ur land. U still cant go to court. U can go to waqf tribunal court There r only 1-2 court in every state. So u have to go capital n will have to file ur case there. Section 83 is abt tribunal
Tribunal will have 2 judges (no religion specified) n one eminent muslim. U fought ur case in tribunal n suppose u lost ur case since tribunal also have their member then what r options for u n here comes one more bomb in section 85 Section 85 says tribunal decision is final
No civil court (supreme court, high court) can change the order of tribunal court Though later this clause was stuck down by Supreme Court is Rajasthan Jindal Saw case in May 2022 SC said no court is superior than us n we can interfere in any decision.
In 2005, UP waqf board claimed on Taj Mahal against ASI though they lost case in Supreme Court They used provisions of waqf act in Gyanvapi case also but there they also lost Question is powerful people can hire costly lawyer n can go to Supreme court but what about common man
In Tamil Nadu waqf claimed an entire village. When waqf claim then its not their responsibility to prove its responsibility of victim to prove. Question is how there can be a religious act in a secular country 1. Why there is no such act for hindu, Christion n sikh
n only for muslim ? 2. If a Christian, sikh, jain encroach a hindu land or vica versa then they have to go civil court but if a muslim encroach the land of hindu or any other religion then hey have to go waqf tribunal ? why this privilege to only one religion ? 17/22
Due to this draconian act, waqf has become the richest body of India with 6 lac property n market value of 12 lac crore. Waqf rents this land and earn crore of rupees from it that is used for their religious upliftment, fighting case. govt also provide them financial supports
On other side Govt takes Rs 1 lac crore every year from Hindu temples that r used for non hindu work while other side govt funding to waqf that is already richest. Govt sud immediately abolish waqf act n there sud be single act for all the religions. 19/22

Waqf have administrative, supervisory n judicial powers but execution power is still with collector, DM n Police that r mostly Hindu But as demography change happens in IAS, IPS also then waqf act will become 10 times more lethal. Waqf act is violation of article 14 21/22
of Indian constitution Indian constitution doesn't allow any act that is religious n encroche right of other religions in 1995, Congress indirectly gave India to one community Abolish waqf act 1995 End of thread 22/22
