STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The Mussalman Wakf Act, 1923, a colonial-era legislation, has become
outdated and inadequate for effective management of waqf property in
modern India. It is proposed to repeal the said Act to ensure uniformity,
transparency, and accountability in administration and management of waqf
properties through the Waqf Act, 1995. This repeal will eliminate
inconsistencies and ambiguities resulting from the continued existence of this
redundant Act.
