It is high time to work diligentlyfor ensuring the desired

Rajya Sabha Select Committee on Waqfshas submitted its Report on 17 Dec 2011
It has made many good suggestionsbut, still it is based on numerous omissions
![Page 6: Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2010 CONCERNS & DEMANDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143d5550346895db06268/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

ZFI has tried to go deep into the matter
We have found that the vital omissions are based on the comments given by the
officials of the Ministries of Law and Minorities Affairs.
Also, some Members of the Select Committee did not get time to properly study and research
into the issues and thus did not systematically rebut the official objections

Sachar Committee recommended:
The level of
Secretary, CWCshould atleast be Joint Secretary to the Government of India
The Waqf Bill 2010 ignores this vital recommendation.
It needs to be incorporated in the Bill

CEO of State Waqf Board must rank with senior officers of state government.
But, mostly Waqf Board’s CEOs are retired or low level officials or teachers. FOUND OUT BY ZFI IN 2011, UNDER RTI ACT: CEOs are: Veterinary Doctor, Naib-Tahsildar, BDO, Junior Employment Officer, Survey Inspector, Primary Teacher

Usually, Muslim officers are not available to be posted as CEO of Waqf Boards because
in 2.5 %
As per Sachar Committee,there are not more than 2.5 % Muslims in the higher Bureaucracy

Nobody above him asked:

JPC

JPC & Sachar Committee:
Define Waqf Property
![Page 53: Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2010 CONCERNS & DEMANDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143d5550346895db06268/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

MoMA’s Attempt to take away
Muslim-exclusive advantage of Waqf
![Page 55: Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2010 CONCERNS & DEMANDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143d5550346895db06268/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
In the Waqf Act 1995, Section 3, clause (r),
there is a mistake.
Instead of ‘Waqif’, the word ‘Waqf’ is written.
The Waqf Bill 2010 intends to correct the mistake.
![Page 56: Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2010 CONCERNS & DEMANDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143d5550346895db06268/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Therefore, the Bill says thatfor the words
“Wakf” means any person making such dedication
the words “Waqif” means any person
making such dedicationshall be substituted.
![Page 57: Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2010 CONCERNS & DEMANDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143d5550346895db06268/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
However, the Waqf Bill 2010unnecessarily adds here the
following:
Subject to the condition that when the line of succession fails,
the income of the waqf shall be spent for education, development and welfare
of the community.
![Page 58: Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2010 CONCERNS & DEMANDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143d5550346895db06268/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
The word ‘community’ has not been definedin the Act or the Bill.
In future, it can lead to unnecessary litigation.
![Page 59: Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2010 CONCERNS & DEMANDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143d5550346895db06268/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Replace the word‘community’ by ‘Muslim community of India’
![Page 60: Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2010 CONCERNS & DEMANDS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/568143d5550346895db06268/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

It is hoped that the Muslim community
will continue to create even more Auqaf
as a way of contributing to humankind
