AIMIM Seeks Section 22A Protection for Waqf Lands
AIMIM asked the government to protect Waqf properties using Section 22A of the Registration Act.
This section covers properties that cannot normally be registered.
The party said some Raidurgam land belongs to Jamia Nizamia’s Waqf.
The government recently auctioned part of that land.
AIMIM MLA Ahmed bin Abdullah Balala said the government should have protected it.
He also said private landowners with genuine claims should not be wrongly affected.
Balala asked officials to publish details of all Section 22A properties.
He wanted land disputes resolved quickly and officials held responsible for mistakes.
