On Wednesday, April 16, the Supreme Court will hear pleas that question the constitutional validity of several provisions of the WAQF Act (amendment), 2025.
The petition Aimim Assaduddin Owaisi is also one of the 10 action reasons listed before the bench of three judges, which includes CJI and Justices Sanjay Kumar and KV Viswanathan.
The bench, including the chief judge of Sanjiv Khanna and the judiciary Sanjay Kumar, took note of the defense attorney Vishnu Shankar Jain that a fresh request was filed and the same for hearing.
“We usually give data within a week,” Cji said.
The fresh reason mentioned by the defending champion Vishnu Jankar Jain was given by Hari Shankar Jain and one Mani Munjal against the Indian Union, the Minority Ministry and the Waqf Council.
The application challenges the constitutional validity of the provisions of the WAQF Act of 1995, as amended by the WAQF (amendment)… because these provisions violate Articles 14, 15, 21, 25,26,27 and 300A of the India Constitution because it creates “imbalance and missions in Indian society”.
He stated that WAQF boards, through these legal provisions, obtained excessive powers leading to the extensive occupation of government and private land throughout the country.
Meanwhile, the WAQF Act (amendment) 2025 also caused violence in parts of Bengal. Then the Minister of Trade Union Kiren Rijija accused the chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Baerjee of the “incitement of violence” with their notes that asked people to protest against the WAQF law and declare that it would not implement it in their state.
Rijiju also stated that the amended WAQF law was not focused on the Muslim community, but aimed to remedy the “past mistakes” and accused the main Minister of West Bengal Mom Banerjee of “inciting violence” through his opposition to the law.
The Minister’s statement comes in the middle of the protests of various Muslim groups against the amendment that has become violent in some parts of West Bengal.
The draft WAQF, approved by the parliament, received the consent of President 5 April.
The NDA decision strongly prevented legislation beneficial for minorities, while the opposition called it “Anti-Muslim”.
