Supreme Court to consider question of interim relief in pleas challenging validity of amended Waqf law 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. Previously, the Union government assured no denotification of properties or appointments until May 5. The Centre defends the Act, opposing a stay and citing a significant increase in waqf properties since 2013.
