Supreme Court Refuses to Entertain Plea Against UMEED Portal’s Classification of Waqf Properties

The Supreme Court declined to entertain a plea challenging the UMEED portal’s classification of waqf properties, which provides only a “Waqf by User” option and not “Waqf by Survey.”

The Bench held that uploading details under “Waqf by User” does not dilute rights under the Waqf Act, 1995, as “Waqf by Survey” is not a recognised statutory category and stands subsumed within it.

The Court clarified that uploading data is not re-registration and does not alter the waqf’s legal character.

The petitioner was granted liberty to approach the prescribed authority for redressal.
