SC agrees to hear plea seeking extension of time for registration of waqf properties
NEw new delhi, The sublime margaret court on th in agreement(p) to list an application seeking extension of time for mandatory registration of all waqf properties, including waqf-by-users under the UMEED portal. In an interim order, the top court had on September 15 put on hold a few key provisions of the Waqf Act, 2025, including a clause that only those practising Islam for the last five years could create Waqf, but refused to stay the entire law outlining the presumption of constitutionality in its favour. It also held the Centre’s order to delete the "waqf by user" provision in the newly-amended waqf law was prima facie not arbitrary and the argument that waqf lands would be grabbed by governments held “no water”. Waqf by user refers to a practice where a property is recognised as a religious or charitable endowment based on its long-term, uninterrupted use for such purposes, even if there isn't a formal, written declaration of waqf by the owner. On Thursday, a bench headed by Chief Justice B R Gavai was urged by lawyer Nizam Pasha, appearing for AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi, that a miscellaneous application seeking extension of time for registration of waqf properties be extended. He said that six months time was given in the amended law for registration of the waqf properties and “Five months went during the judgement, we now only have one month left.” Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was in the courtroom in connection with another case, objected to the mentioning of the plea and said it should be intimated to the Centre. “Let it be listed, listing does not mean granting ,” the CJI said. The Centre had on June 6 launched the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995 central portal to create a digital inventory after geo-tagging all waqf properties. According to the mandate of the UMEED portal, details of all registered Waqf properties across India are to be mandatorily uploaded within six months.
