Buying or selling property in India is often stressful and risky. The Supreme Court described these transactions as “traumatic,” noting that property disputes make up 66% of civil cases, highlighting challenges in land governance and state authority over registration.
The proposed “Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995” seeks to transfer decision-making authority over Waqf properties to district collectors, aiming to redefine governance and management across India. The bill faces opposition from various parties, but aims to prevent wrongful declarations of government land as Waqf property while promoting inclusive representation and improved administration.
