Big news coming out of the Supreme Court today! They’ve decided to put a temporary hold on the WAQF Amendment Act 2025. This comes after a bunch of petitions were filed, challenging the constitutional validity of the new amendments. Critics argue that the changes could lead to misuse of WAQF properties and make things less transparent. The Court acknowledged that this is a pretty serious issue, both legally and publicly, and said it needs a deeper look before any enforcement.
This decision has got people talking—some are cheering it as a win for public interest, while others see it as a delay in much-needed reforms. The Centre’s been asked to file a response, and the case will be revisited in the coming weeks. So for now, the WAQF Amendment Act is on pause, and the debate around WAQF property laws is far from over.
