New Delhi:
The historic hearing started on Wednesday against the Waqf Act in the Supreme Court. The leaders, organizations and politicians of the Muslim community against the Waqf Act have approached the Supreme Court, in which it has been described against the fundamental rights of the Constitution. The Muslim side lawyers in their arguments demanded the court to cancel it, citing the principles of fundamental rights, religious freedom and equality of the Constitution. Many veterans including Kapil Sibal, Abhishek Singhvi argued in the court on behalf of the Muslim side.
- Kapil Sibal said that under the Central Waqf Council (1995), all were Muslims on the board. All members in Hindu and Sikh boards are also Hindus and Sikhs. Non -Muslims have been placed in the name of special members in the new Waqf Amended Act. This new law is a direct violation of rights.
- Kapil Sibal said that according to the new law, if someone has adopted Islam for less than 5 years, then he cannot donate property. This is wrong. My property is I have the right over it. How can it be stopped in this way.
- In the Supreme Court, Abhishek Manu Singhvi demanded a ban on the Waqf revised law. He told the Supreme Court- this case is not that the petition should be sent to the High Court. The provisions of new law have become effective immediately. Stay should be applied on them. However, the court said on his demand that we will consider this issue later.
- Abhishek Manu Singhvi also argued and said, “We have heard that the land of Parliament is also of Waqf. At the same time, CJI Khanna replied,” We are not saying that all the Waqfs are registered incorrectly, but there are some concerns. “He suggested that the hearing of the matter can be handed over to the High Court.
- On the issue of registration of old Waqf properties, Sibal said that this is not so easy. Waqf has been built hundreds of years ago. Now they will ask for Waqf Deed of 300 years old property. This is the problem.
- On behalf of the petitioner, Kapil Sibal also mentioned the decision of Ram Janmabhoomi. He said that Section 36, you can make by the user, there is no need for property. Suppose this is my own property and I want to use it, I do not want to register.
- Talking on behalf of the Muslim side, another advocate Rajiv Shakdhar said that Article 31 was originally removed. When can they tamper with property? Under morality, health etc., they need a 5 -year probation period to certify someone as a Muslim.
- Sinier Advocate Rajiv Dhawan said that this law is against the internal system of Islam religion. Dhawan said that the basis of constitutional attack is that Waqf is essential and integral for Islam. Religion, especially charity, is an essential and integral part of Islam.
