On April 17, 2025, the Supreme Court paused the implementation of key provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, after multiple petitions questioned its constitutional validity. The Centre assured it would make no fresh appointments to the Central Waqf Council or state Waqf Boards until the next hearing on May 5. It also agreed not to denotify or alter waqf properties, including those under the controversial 'waqf-by-user' clause. The Court took this on record and granted the Centre and states seven days to submit formal responses. (PC: Hindustan Times)(
