President Approves Waqf Amendment Act 2025

On April 5, the President gave assent to the Waqf Amendment Act 2025, which was passed by Parliament on April 4. The Act brings changes to the Waqf Act 1995, affecting the administration of Waqfs.

The amendments have been controversial and were quickly challenged in the Supreme Court. Critics argue that the changes violate fundamental rights, including the right to practice religion and the right to equality.

The Supreme Court will now examine whether the new law conflicts with constitutional protections. The outcome of this case will determine the future implementation of the amendments.
