SC refuses to stay operation of Waqf (Amendment) Act, posts matter for tomorrow

The Supreme Court voiced concerns regarding violence related to the Waqf (Amendment) Act and scheduled a hearing for the matter. The court proposed preventing the denotification of properties declared as waqf, including those 'waqf by user,' a suggestion opposed by the Centre. Several petitions challenge the Act's constitutional validity, alleging its misuse for illegal property accumulation by Waqf Boards.
