SC Interim Order on Waqf Act: The Battle is Not Over YetIndian Muslims must remember, the battle is not over yet; the Supreme Court’s freeze will remain in place till all of the nearly 65 petitions against the Waqf Act are conclusively decidedWednesday September 17, 2025 10:56 AM , Asad MirzaIn a much-anticipated decision by the country’s Supreme Court on the contentious Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025, the court treading on very sensitive ground, granted relief to the Muslim petitioners on three provisions of the new Act. Instead, just like the Triple Talaq issue, if they had given a sincere alternative to the proposed Waqf Act, it would have resulted in a much better support to them and would have increased their credibility. The section in itself sounded mischievous, as it related to the very ground of forming a Waqf by a Muslim being questioned. Lastly, the court declined to interfere with provisions declaring Waqf status void for properties that are protected monuments or belong to Scheduled Tribes. The Supreme Court’s freeze will remain in place till all of the nearly 65 petitions against the Act are conclusively decided.
