Today, On 15th April, The Supreme Court will consider a fresh plea challenging the provisions of the 2025 Waqf Act, with the Chief Justice stating, “We give dates mostly within a week” for cases involving mentioning slips. The petitioners argue the amendments infringe on Muslim religious autonomy and the management of waqf properties.
The Kerala High Court expressed concerns over the state’s decision to form an inquiry commission regarding land rights in Munambam, where 114 acres are declared waqf property. Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas criticized the move as redundant, indicating potential judicial overreach. The case will continue with a hearing scheduled for January 31, 2025, amidst ongoing disputes over ownership.

The Supreme Court (25th Oct) refused to maintain the status quo on alleged illegal demolitions of Muslim places of worship in Gujarat. Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan deemed it unnecessary to issue an order. The case involved a contempt petition concerning demolitions without prior approval, with conflicting claims about land ownership.
