Karnataka High Court Stays Till January 7 GO Authorizing State Waqf Board, Officers To Issue Marriage Certificates To Muslim Couples

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court on Thursday, in an interim order, kept in abeyance till January 7 a government order authorising the State Waqf Board and its officers to issue marriage certificates to married Muslim applicants. A division bench of Chief Justice N V Anjaria and Justice K V Aravind while dictating its order said, “In view of the strong prima case the impugned order dated 30-8-2023 authorizing the State Board of Waqf and its officers to issue marriage certificates shall remain in abeyance till the next date. The high court thereafter in its order said, "Any careful reading of the provisions of section 32 of the Waqf Act in no manner provides that Waqf board or its officers would be said to be invested with powers to issue marriage certificates". The court observed that "prima facie" it was difficult to justify orders which empower Waqf board and Waqf officers to issue marriage certificates and the impugned order "prima facie" does not have any backing of law and operates in the vacum of law not supported by any provisions of the Act.
