Supreme Court ne Waqf Amendment Act par rok se inkaar kiya, par key provisions stayed

Summary

Supreme Court of India ne 15 September 2025 ko Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 ko challenge karne wali petitions par interim order pass kiya. Chief Justice B.R. Gavai aur Justice A.G. Masih ki bench ne kaha ki poore statute par rok lagane ka koi case nahi banta. Court ne us shart par rok lagayi ki sirf wahi vyakti waqf bana sakta hai jo kam se kam paanch saal se Islam practise kar raha ho; yeh rok tab tak rahegi jab tak State Governments ise tay karne ke mechanism ke liye rules nahi banatin. Court ne Section 3C ke un provisions par bhi rok lagayi jinke tahat Collector ya designated officer inquiry ke dauraan property ko waqf na maankar revenue records badalwa sakta tha, aur kaha ki executive dwara citizens ke rights tay karna separation of powers ka ullanghan hoga. Court ne direction di ki Central Waqf Council mein 4 se zyada aur State Waqf Boards mein 3 se zyada non-Muslim members nahi honge. Section 23 par rok nahi lagi, lekin Court ne kaha ki jahan tak sambhav ho, Board ka Chief Executive Officer Muslim community se appoint kiya jaye.
