Mussalman Wakf Act, 1923 to be repealed, leaving existing obligations intact

This Bill repeals the Mussalman Wakf Act, 1923, to remove outdated colonial-era legislation. The goal is to ensure uniformity, transparency, and accountability in the management of waqf properties by relying solely on the Waqf Act, 1995.

The law affects the administration and management of waqf properties, as well as individuals or entities with obligations, liabilities, or legal proceedings arising from the repealed 1923 Act.

• Repeal of the Mussalman Wakf Act, 1923 (Act 42 of 1923).
• The repeal does not affect the previous operation of the 1923 Act or anything duly done under it.
• Existing obligations, liabilities, legal proceedings, or remedies accrued under the 1923 Act remain valid and can be continued or enforced as if the repeal had not occurred.
• The Act comes into force on a date appointed by the Central Government via notification in the Official Gazette.
