The Supreme Court of India has suspended the implementation of the amended Waqf Act following hearings on 73 petitions challenging its validity. The court emphasized maintaining the status quo, ensuring no new appointments or changes to Waqf properties until further hearings. The amended act, which includes provisions for non-Muslim members in Waqf boards, has sparked nationwide protests and political debates. Critics argue that the act infringes on religious autonomy and violates constitutional rights. The court has directed the government to respond within a week, with petitioners allowed to react within five days thereafter.
