The Supreme Court will start hearing the petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025 from today. The act, which was passed during the recent budget session of Parliament, is facing heavy opposition from Muslim organizations, religious leaders, civil society and opposition parties. They allege that the government wants to establish control over the assets of Waqf through this law, while the government argues that this will improve the management of Waqf properties and bring transparency.
Peeth headed by Chief Justice will hear hearing
Under the leadership of Chief Justice Sanjeev Khanna, Justice Sanjay Kumar and K.V. A three -member bench of Vishwanathan will hear the case. A total of 10 petitions in the case have been listed for hearing so far, including AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Aam Aadmi Party leader Amanatullah Khan, Association for the Protection of Civil Rights, Arshad Madani, all Kerala Jamiatul Ulama, Anjum Qadri, Tayyab Khan Salmani, Mohammad Shafi, Mohammed Shafi, Mohammad Fazlurrahim and Arjdi MP

Advocates Harishankar Jain and Mani Munjal have challenged the constitutional validity of the Waqf law on the basis that it violates the fundamental rights of non-Muslims. This petition has also been listed for hearing.
Government filed cavity
The central government has filed a cavity in the Supreme Court on April 8, under which the court has been informed that the government must be heard before passing any order on this subject.
AIMPLB also filed petition
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) also filed a petition in the apex court on April 6 against the Act. The petition claimed that weakening the protection of Waqf properties is discriminatory with Muslims, which is a violation of Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution.
