The Tamil Nadu Waqf Board issued Notification No. VI-3(a)/47/2021, signed by the Chief Executive Officer on June 3, 2021 and published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on June 9, 2021. It changes the recorded method of succession for the Muthavalli and committee members of Ahle Sunnathval Jamath Jamia Pallivasal from election or selection to hereditary succession according to the waqf deed.
What the notification governs
Tamil Nadu Waqf Board Notification No. VI-3(a)/47/2021 concerns Ahle Sunnathval Jamath Jamia Pallivasal at Sunguvarchatram, Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kancheepuram District. It amends entries in the institution's Revised Proforma Report and Register of Waqfs concerning succession to the office of Muthavalli and the position of committee members.
The notification was signed by D. Faritha Banu, Chief Executive Officer of the Tamil Nadu Waqf Board, at Chennai on June 3, 2021. It was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on June 9, 2021.
Changes to the records
Tamil Nadu Waqf Board Notification No. VI-3(a)/47/2021 makes the following changes:
- Column 10 of the Revised Proforma Report previously recorded that the Muthavalli was elected by the Muslim Jamath by custom. The amended entry states that succession is hereditary according to the waqf deed.
- Column 6 of the Register of Waqfs previously recorded that committee members were selected by conducting a General Body Meeting once in three years. The amended entry states that succession is hereditary according to the waqf deed.
Both amendments therefore replace an election or selection process with hereditary succession based on the waqf deed.
