SC to hear on Oct 28 pleas seeking extension of time for registration of waqf properties
Waqf by user refers to a practice where a property is recognised as a religious or charitable endowment (waqf) based on its long-term, uninterrupted use for such purposes, even if there isn't a formal, written declaration of waqf by the owner.
Earlier on October 9, Pasha, appearing for Owaisi, had said that a miscellaneous application seeking extension of time for registration of waqf properties be heard.
He said that six months time was given in the amended law for registration of the waqf properties and "Five months went during the judgement, we now only have" onclick="showFullScrImg(this)"/>
The Supreme Court will hear AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi's plea on October 28, seeking an extension for mandatory registration of all waqf properties on the UMEED portal. The six-month registration period is nearing its end, prompting the urgent request for more time. This follows a previous interim order that stayed some provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has listed for October 28 hearing on a plea of AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi seeking extension of time for mandatory registration of all waqf properties, including waqf-by-users under the UMEED portal.
A bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran was urged by lawyer Nizam Pasha that the plea needed urgent listing as the six months mandatory time period was nearing the end.
On Tuesday, another similar plea was mentioned for urgent hearing along with Owasi's plea on October 28.
The bench said it would consider listing the fresh one as well.
In an interim order, the top court had on September 15 put on hold a few key provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, including a clause that only those practising Islam for the last five years could create waqf, but refused to stay the entire law outlining the presumption of constitutionality in its favour.
It also held the Centre's order to delete the "waqf by user" provision in the newly-amended waqf law was prima facie not arbitrary and the argument that waqf lands would be grabbed by governments held "no water".

He said that six months time was given in the amended law for registration of the waqf properties and "Five months went during the judgement, we now only have one month left."
The Centre had on June 6 launched the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995 (UMEED) central portal to create a digital inventory after geo-tagging all waqf properties.
