The Supreme Court of India is set to pronounce its judgment on a plea seeking a stay on the implementation of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, today at 10:30 AM. The bench, headed by Chief Justice B.R. Gavai, will address concerns raised by over 100 petitioners who describe the Act as a “creeping acquisition” of Muslim properties, potentially violating constitutional rights under Articles 14, 25, and 26. The government defends the legislation as essential to curb “rampant encroachments” on public lands, introducing provisions for better governance and digitization of waqf records. This ruling could impact over 8 lakh waqf properties across India, influencing communal harmony and land disputes in states like Uttar Pradesh and Telangana. Legal experts anticipate a balanced decision, possibly with interim safeguards.
