SC to consider interim relief in pleas challenging validity of Waqf (Amendment) Act on May 20

The Supreme Court will consider interim relief on May 20 regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, focusing on waqf by user, non-Muslim nominations, and government land identification. The court will not entertain pleas to stay provisions of the 1995 law. The Centre defends the Act, opposing a stay and citing a significant increase in recorded waqf properties.
