Mukhtar Ansari’s son, Umar Ansari, has moved the Allahabad High Court seeking bail in a criminal case. He is accused of submitting forged documents, including his absconding mother’s signature, to reclaim property seized under the Gangster Act.
Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain raised concerns over the Waqf-by-user concept, questioning its validity and urging the court to reconsider it. He emphasized that the practice should be stayed, and efforts should be made to reclaim properties that were acquired based on this provision, highlighting its potential issues.
