The Supreme Court hears petitions against the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, questioning the inclusion of non-Muslims in Waqf boards and raising concerns over hist
During a hearing on multiple petitions challenging recent amendments to the Waqf Act, the Supreme Court on Wednesday questioned the Centre on whether it would permit Muslims to be part of Hindu religious trusts, in light of the Act’s new provision allowing non-Muslims on Waqf boards. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and several others have filed petitions against the amendments.
Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna noted that many mosques built in the 14th and 15th centuries would be unable to provide ownership deeds, and expressed concern over the violence linked to the issue, stating, “The matter is before the court, and we will decide.”
The bench, also comprising Justices Sanjay Kumar and K V Viswanathan, asked if the matter should be taken up by the Supreme Court or referred to the High Court. They also asked petitioners to clarify their key arguments.
The Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, received presidential assent on April 5 after passing both houses of Parliament. A total of 72 petitions have been filed contesting its constitutional validity.
