Waqf Amendment Bill 2025 News | Supreme Court Waqf Amendment: The Supreme Court on Monday (September 15) passed an interim order staying the operation of several provisions of the new Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, passed by Parliament in April. While refusing to put a blanket stay on the entire law, a Bench comprising Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and AG Masih temporarily put on hold provisions that gave district collectors wide-ranging powers over Waqf properties and mandated a five-year period of practising Islam to create a Waqf.
