SC Postpones Waqf Act Challenge To May 15; New CJI To Hear Case
The Supreme Court deferred hearings on petitions challenging the Waqf Amendment Act to May 15, citing incomplete review of government affidavits. The case will shift to Justice B.R. Gavai's bench after CJI Khanna's retirement. The controversial law, passed with 288 Lok Sabha votes, faces opposition from AIMIM, DMK, and Muslim groups over land rights and council appointments.
