Amanatullah Khan, an AAP MLA, has filed a petition in the Supreme Court of India challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025, arguing that it restricts the religious and cultural autonomy of Muslims. The bill, which seeks to promote secular and transparent administration of Waqf properties, has faced backlash from the INDIA bloc. However, it was approved by both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha with substantial support. The legislation aims to bring about reforms in the management of Waqf properties, which are religious endowments under Islamic law. Khan’s legal challenge adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing debate surrounding the bill. The Supreme Court will now have to assess the constitutional validity of the amendments introduced by the bill and decide on the matter. The outcome of this legal battle could have far-reaching implications for the administration of Waqf properties in India and the religious freedoms of the Muslim community. As the case unfolds, stakeholders from various sectors will be closely monitoring the developments to understand the potential impact on religious and cultural practices in the country.
