Haj and Muzrai Minister Shashikala Jolle has said that a survey had been ordered to ascertain the status of about 46,000 Wakf properties across Karnataka in a bid to protect them.
Speaking to reporters, Ms. Jolle said there were more than 32,300 Wakf institutions and over 46,000 properties in the state.
She suggested that if open Wakf spaces are developed, revenue can be generated, which can be utilised for the development of the community. “There is paucity of finance to appoint advocates to fight cases in court to protect hundreds of crores worth properties that are now under litigation. It would help if the Central Wakf Council bear the legal cost, and result in quicker resolution in courts,” she said.
