Waqf Amendment Act: The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to consider the 13 new petitions to challenge the Vaqf (Amendment) Act 2025, and it was difficult to deal with them.
What did the court say?
The lawyers of several petitioners urged the bench of Indian Chief Justice Sanjeev Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar to hear their petitions with current petitions. After this, the bench said, “We will no longer increase the number of petitions … they will continue to grow and it is difficult to deal with them.”
However, the bench, including Feros Iqbal Khan, Imran Pratapkarhi, Sheikh Munir Ahmed and the ‘Muslim Lawyers Association’, urged the petitioners to intervene in key petitions if there is an additional basis to challenge Waqf law.
‘We will all listen’
The Chief Justice said that we will listen to all of us … Five cases have been registered. If you want to argue at extra points, file an intervention application in the case.
The court, which passed a similar order on Monday, refused to consider a new petition to challenge the constitution of the Waqf (Amendment) Act in 2025, and that it could not hear hundreds of petitions on the issue. The Bench asked the Advisor of Petitioner Syed Ali Akbar to file an intervention application in five pending cases on May 5 to pass the interim order.
On April 17, the bench decided to hear only five of the total petitions. Of the 72 petitions filed on the law, ‘All India Majlis-e-Ittehdul Muslim’ (AIMIM) Chairman Azaduddin Owaisi, ‘All India Muslim Personnel Law Board’ (AIMPLB), Jamiyat Ulama-e-Hint, Travida Muttra Kashakam (TMK). Javedi’s petitions have been added.
The bench appointed three lawyers as nodal lawyers and asked him to decide who would argue. The center has recently announced the law. On April 5, the President approved the passage of the Act. The bill was supported by 128 members and 95 members in the Rajya Sabha, 288 members in the Lok Sabha, and 232 members voted against it.
