There is nothing new in GO Ms No 15 as the sale (or) transfer of Wakf properties is already banned according to the Central Wakf Act,” he stated awhile pointing out that the Segment 104-A of Central Wakf Act, 1995 states.
Prohibition of sale, gift, exchange, mortgage (or) transfer of Waqf property.

In an announcement here on Sat., Sameer Waliullah stated that the latest GO has been nothing however an trying by KCR to divert citizens’s attention from that demolition of 2 mosques within the State Secretariat.
He stated both the mosques within the Secretariat have been Wakf properties & the State Govt has illegally encroached upon them.
It’d were ideal in case the CM would’ve released orders repatriating the ownership of land belonging to the Secretariat mosques to the Wakf Board.
Despite, he released orders to execute something that is already in implementation,” he stated.
