The Supreme Court on Monday refused to grant a complete stay on the Waqf Amendment Act. The law has already become a matter of national debate. However, the court stayed three provisions of the Act, stating that they require closer examination.
CPI General Secretary D Raja, one of the petitioners, welcomed the move. He said the court highlighted key constitutional concerns. Raja stressed that the Act cannot be implemented until these issues are addressed.
He explained that both the government and Parliament must resolve the objections. Without these steps, the Waqf Amendment Act will remain stalled. Raja emphasized that the ruling shows the law needs more clarity and changes.
“The government must respond. Parliament should act quickly,” Raja told reporters. He added that ignoring the Supreme Court’s concerns will block the law’s progress. His remarks underline the growing tension between politics and judiciary over the controversial Waqf reforms.
