The Supreme Court will hear at 2 PM today the petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025 on the aspect of interim order.

Yesterday, the bench comprising Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, Justice Sanjay Kumar and Justice KV Viswanathan proposed to pass an interim order with three directions : 

1. The properties declared by Courts as Waqfs should not be de-notified as Waqfs, whether they are by waqf-by-user or waqf by deed, while the Court is hearing the matter.

2. The proviso of the Amendment Act, as per which a Waqf property will not be treated as a Waqf while the Collector is conducting an inquiry on whether the property is a Government land, will not be given effect to.

3. All Members of the Waqf Boards and Central Waqf Council must be Muslims, except the ex-officio members.

However, at the request of Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta and other lawyers appearing for the respondents, the bench posted the matter to today for hearing on interim order.
