The Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill, 2025, seeks to remove the outdated Mussalman Wakf Act of ______.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) 1923

Explanation:
• The Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill, 2025, was introduced to formally repeal the Mussalman Wakf Act, 1923 (Act No. 42 of 1923).
• The 1923 Act was an era-specific legislation that provided for better management of Wakf property and for maintaining proper accounts.
• Government authorities noted that after the enactment of the Waqf Act, 1995, the 1923 Act had become redundant and obsolete.
• Repealing such acts is part of the broader legislative cleanup to remove laws that are no longer in force or have been superseded by modern statutes.
• The repeal ensures that there is no legal ambiguity between old pre-independence laws and modern administrative frameworks.

• Waqf refers to property dedicated for religious or charitable purposes in Islamic law.
• The Central Waqf Council is a statutory body established in 1964 by the Government of India under the Waqf Act.

• This year saw many wartime regulations, but the primary target of the 2025 repeal was the century-old 1923 Act.
1953 (Option c)
• Post-independence laws are usually amended rather than completely repealed as 'outdated' compared to the 1923 British-era act.
1933 (Option d)
• There was no major primary 'Mussalman Wakf Act' of 1933 that matches the specific repeal target of the 2025 bill.

So the correct answer is (b)
