Wakf Act, 1954 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1954

.....in respect of two or more States, while in some other cases there is more than one Board functioning in the same State. This is not a satisfactory arrangement. It is, therefore, necessary to reconstitute such Boards as intra-State bodies. It is accordingly proposed to empower the Central Government to make, wherever necessary, suitable orders for the reconstitution of these Boards and for division of their assets and liabilities. In regard to the composition of the Boards, the Act makes a distinction between Part A States, Part B States and Part C States. This distinction no longer holds good. It is, therefore, proposed to provide that each Board, when it is constituted for any of the States or the Union Territory of Delhi, should have eleven members while the Board for any other Union Territory, should have five members only. 2. In some of the States, the Act is in force in certain parts only and it is proposed to empower the Central Government to bring the Act into force in the remaining part of such States.

The laws relating to letting and of landlord and tenant in different States have from different States' angles tried to grapple the problem.
