Posted on 7th Apr 2025 01:35 pm by rohit kumar

The Waqf Amendment Bill has been challenged in the Supreme Court. However, it has been signed by President Draupadi Murmu, making it a law. Six petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court regarding this. Meanwhile, on Monday, in the Supreme Court, senior advocate Kapil Sibal mentioned the petitions challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025. On this, Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna said that he would look at the mentioned letter in the afternoon. He also said that there is a system of listing the cases and the hearing on the petitions will be decided accordingly.

 

Earlier, after being passed by the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha during the budget session of Parliament, the Waqf (Amendment) Bill also got the approval of President Murmu on Saturday night. After the President's approval, this bill has now become a law. The central government has also issued a notification in this regard. However, when will it come into force? Its notification will be issued separately by the central government.
