Supreme Court Hearing On Waqf Act: 'Will Muslims Be On Hindu Boards?' SC's Big Questions To Govt

Описание: Supreme Court Hearing On Waqf Act: 'Will Muslims Be On Hindu Boards?' SC's Big Questions To Govt

Supreme Court heard a series of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of Waqf Amendment Act. A three judge bench led by CJI Sanjiv Khanna is set to take up the matter. Supreme Court posed a series of questions to centre during the hearing. CJI questioned govt on how will 'Waqf By User' be verified without documents.

"How will you register such Waqfs by user who have been there for long? What documents will they have... It will lead to undoing something. Yes, there is some misuse. But there are genuine ones also. I have gone through privy council judgments as well. Waqf by user is recognised. If you undo it, then it will be a problem.": CJI Sanjiv Khanna

Supreme Court also warned Centre that undoing long-standing waqfs will create problems.

"When a public trust is declared Waqf 100 or 200 years ago... suddenly you say it is being taken over by the Waqf Board and declared otherwise." Solicitor General Tushar Mehta intervened and said that it means if one has a Waqf, it can be made into a trust and there is an enabling provision for it. The Chief Justice then remarked: "You cannot rewrite the past!"

CJI questioned govt on will non-Muslims be allowed in Hindu endowment boards too?

"So, as per the Act, eight members are Muslims. Two may not be Muslims. Then the rest are non-Muslims." Solicitor General Mehta then remarked, "Then this bench also cannot hear the case." CJI Khanna retorted: "What? When we sit over here, we lose our religion. For us, both sides are the same. How can you compare it with the judges? Why not have non-muslims also in the advisory board of Hindu endowments then?
