Supreme Court Deliberates on Waqf Amendment Act 2025: Interim Order Pending

The Supreme Court is poised to deliver an interim order on the Waqf Amendment Act 2025, following arguments from involved parties. The Act has been criticized by some as a means of acquiring Muslim properties. The legal proceedings, which included a hearing before a bench led by CJI BR Gavai and Justice AG Masih, culminated in the reservation of the interim order on May 22nd. The government supports the act as a measure to tackle property encroachments, while the petitions challenge its constitutionality and the extensive revisions to Waqf law.
