Mumbai: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board said that the launch of the 'Waqf Umeed Portal' from June 6 is illegal and a contempt of court, as the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025, introduced by the government is currently under consideration in the Supreme Court.
Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, president of the organisation, said that opposition parties have rejected the law. However, it is unfortunate that despite this, the government is launching the portal and making it mandatory to register waqf properties through it, said Rahmani. The AIMPLB said it will approach the apex court against the government's decision to start registrations of Waqf properties.
The AIMPLB said the registration process is based on the disputed law, which has been challenged in court as unconstitutional. The board has appealed to Muslims and state Waqf Boards to refrain from registering Waqf properties on this portal until the court delivers its decision on the dispute. The body has asked Waqf Board administrators to issue notices stating that registrations should be avoided until the Supreme Court issues its verdict.
