What was said about Waqf in the petitions?
Many more petitions are expected to be filed in the Supreme Court regarding the Waqf law. It is believed that on Monday, the petitioners may request Chief Justice sanjeev Khanna for an early hearing. In all the petitions filed so far, it has mainly been said that this is a law that discriminates against Muslims. Waqf is a religious institution. government interference in its functioning is wrong. The new Waqf law is against fundamental rights like Articles 14, 15 (equality), 25 (religious freedom) 26 (arrangement of religious matters) and 29 (minority rights) of the Constitution. The petitioners have also said that the change in the law is against Article 300A i.e. the right to property.
Same demand in all these petitions
In all the petitions, the court has been asked for intervention by calling the law against the Constitution. The petitioners have also demanded a stay on the implementation of the law, but it is generally seen that the supreme court does not unilaterally stop the law passed by the Parliament. If the court finds these petitions worthy of consideration, then it can issue a notice to the government and seek a reply.
