Waqf Act: Fresh plea filed in Supreme Court against Amendments, claims 'blatant intrusion'

Soon after the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025 was passed in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, people and organisations opposing it moved to the Supreme Court and filed pleas against it. President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday gave her assent to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, making it an Act. A fresh plea has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, claiming it was a "blatant intrusion" into the rights of a religious denomination to manage its affairs in the matter of religion.
