Will not make appointments in the Central Waqf Council and Boards

 

Earlier on April 17, the Supreme Court recorded the Central Government's assurance that it would not denotify Waqf properties, including Waqf by User, until May 5 and would not make appointments to the Central Waqf Council and Boards.

 

This assurance was given when the Supreme Court was told that the law was passed by Parliament after due deliberation, and it should not be stayed without hearing the government's side.

 

The Center opposed the Supreme Court's proposal.

The Center has opposed the Supreme Court's proposal to pass an interim order against the denotification of Waqf properties, including Waqf by User.
