Amendment to Column 6 of the Register of Waqfs and Publication of Framing of Scheme to Hazarath JI (RAH) Delhi Marhoom Moulana Shah Mohemed Yousuff Sahib Memorial Orphanage Waqf

What the notification does

The Tamil Nadu Waqf Board notification changes Column 6 of the Register of Waqfs for the Hazarathji (Rah) Delhi Marhoom Moulana Shah Mohamed Yousuff Sahib Memorial Orphanage Waqf, located at Chickadasampalayam, Mettupalayam, Coimbatore District.

Column 6 records the rule of succession to the office of the Muthavalli and whether that rule comes from the Waqf deed, custom or usage. The amendment was resolved through Resolution Item Number 58/22, R.C. Number 1142/2001/B3/CBE, dated 30 March 2022.

Change to the Muthavalli succession rule

The revised Register of Waqfs replaces the existing selection method with a hereditary rule:

• Existing entry: selection by the General Body according to custom and usage.
• Amended entry: the eldest male member in the Wakif family.
• The amended method is identified as hereditary.

The change concerns succession to the office responsible for the Waqf. The notification does not state that it transfers ownership of any land or changes the boundaries or survey details of any property.

Administration scheme

The Tamil Nadu Waqf Board also approved a scheme framed for the administration of the same orphanage Waqf. The approval was made under Resolution Item Number 58/22, R.C. Number 1142/2001/B3/CBE, dated 30 March 2022.

The Gazette notification confirms that the administration scheme was approved, but it does not reproduce the scheme or list its individual terms.

Who may be affected

The Tamil Nadu Waqf Board notification directly concerns:

• The Hazarathji (Rah) Delhi Marhoom Moulana Shah Mohamed Yousuff Sahib Memorial Orphanage Waqf.
• Members of the Wakif family, particularly the eldest male member relevant to hereditary succession.
• The General Body, whose previous role in selecting the Muthavalli is replaced in the amended register entry.
• Persons involved in managing or dealing with the administration of the Waqf.

A property buyer or professional examining property connected with this Waqf should note that the notification addresses management succession and approval of an administration scheme. It does not provide property descriptions or declare a land transfer.
