New Delhi, Apr 17 :
The Supreme Court has issued an interim stay on the implementation of the controversial amendments to the Waqf Act, 2025. The decision comes after the court heard multiple petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the new amendments, which had triggered widespread concern and protests from various sections of the Muslim community across the country.
The petitioners argued that the amended law infringes upon the rights of the Waqf institutions and the Muslim community, and sought the court’s intervention to safeguard their interests.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
During the hearing, the Supreme Court also questioned the government on the provisions of the amended Act and observed that no new members should be added to Waqf Boards and that ‘Waqf-by-user’ properties should not be denotified until further orders.
The interim relief has brought hope to the community, as the legal battle against the law continues in court. (KNS)
