Key Provisions Of Waqf Amendment Act Stayed By Supreme Court In Big Order
Key provisions in the Waqf (Amendment) Act, which sparked nationwide protests, have been paused as the Supreme Court flagged that some of them will lead to "arbitrary" exercise of power. The bench of Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice AG Masih said it found no case was made out to stay the whole statute, but "some sections need some protection". These provisions have been paused till the petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Act are decided.
