Hours after Parliament passed the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025, AIMIM chief and MP Asaduddin Owaisi and Congress MP Mohammad Jawed moved the Supreme Court challenging the Constitutional validity of the Bill.
In his petition, Congress MP Mohammad Jawed challenged the amendments to the 1995 Act governing Waqfs, claiming it violated Constitutional provisions, and said they “disproportionately increase state intervention.”
The plea alleged the bill imposed “arbitrary restrictions” on Waqf properties and their management, undermining the religious autonomy of the Muslim community.
