The Supreme Court is scheduled on Monday (September 15, 2025) to pronounce judgment on a plea to stay the implementation of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, which over a 100 petitioners described as a “creeping acquisition” of Muslim properties while the government defended as a necessary counter to “rampant encroachment” on public and private properties.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai had heard the case back-to-back for three days in May, the very same month he took over as top judge. The hearing was wrapped up on May 22 and the case reserved for judgment.
The case had reached the Supreme Court in early April, hours after the Waqf (Amendment) Bill of 2025 was cleared by the Parliament.
