The Wakf (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 1965

Civil19653 sections

This Act amends the Wakf Act of 1954 to specifically name the Maharashtra State Government as the authority responsible for managing Wakfs within the state. It replaces general references to "any State Government" with "the State Government of Maharashtra" in two key sections. This change ensures that the administration and regulation of religious endowments in Maharashtra are handled directly by the state government, providing clarity on jurisdiction and governance for the management of these properties.
