Constitution of Wakf Tribunal under Wakf Act, Amendments to Notification
The Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes and Minorities Welfare Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu issued G.O. Ms. No. 23 on 25th February 2011 to amend the notification constituting Wakf Tribunals under the Wakf Act, 1995. The amendment replaces a district name for serial number 5 and adds the Court of Sub-Judge, Dharmapuri, as serial number 25.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 23, issued by the Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes and Minorities Welfare Department on 25th February 2011, amends Commercial Taxes and Religious Endowments Department Notification No. II(2)/CTRE/2093(a)/97. The earlier notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated 24th October 1997 and had subsequently been amended.
The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendments using the power under sub-section (1) of Section 83 of the Wakf Act, 1995.
Changes to the tribunal table
The amendments alter the table contained in the earlier notification:
- For serial number 5, the entry in column (4) is changed from "Dharmapuri District" to "Krishnagiri district".
- A new serial number 25 is added after serial number 24.
- The entries corresponding to serial number 25 identify the Court of Sub-Judge, Dharmapuri, the Sub-Judge, and Dharmapuri District.
The amendment therefore corrects the district shown against an existing entry and adds a separate tribunal entry connected with Dharmapuri District.
Who may be affected
The amended notification is relevant to people and professionals who need to identify the Wakf Tribunal entries listed for Krishnagiri District or Dharmapuri District. In particular, the district reference for serial number 5 must be read as Krishnagiri district, while the Court of Sub-Judge, Dharmapuri, appears as the newly added serial number 25.
For a property buyer or owner, the notification does not itself state any land price, registration fee, ownership rule, or procedure for transferring property. Its stated purpose is limited to amending the table relating to the constitution of Wakf Tribunals under the Wakf Act, 1995.
Publication details
The amendment was published as Notification No. II(2)/BCMBCMW/90(e)/2011 in Part II, Section 2 of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, No. 73, dated 25th February 2011.
