During the hearing in the Supreme Court on Wednesday (May 21, 2025) on the petitions filed against the Waqf Amendment Act, the Center said that no petitioner is personally affected by the law. He said that only some people cannot become representatives of the entire Muslim community by filing a petition. He cannot say that the whole Muslim community also thinks the things they have problems.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appeared on behalf of the Center. He said that the Parliament enacted a law and made suggestions of millions of people before making laws. SG Mehta said that some people cannot call themselves representatives of the entire Muslim community and the Waqf law had been decreasing since 1923, which has been repaired.
The case was also heard on Tuesday, in which senior advocates Kapil Sibal, Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Rajiv Dhawan argued on behalf of the petitioners. Today, SG Tushar Mehta, while favoring the Center, said that from 1923 to 1995 law was the law that only Muslims could have walked, but before the elections in 2013, the law was made that anyone could do waqf. He said that the government has improved it and a condition has been placed to follow Islam for at least 5 years to wake up.
SG Tushar Mehta said, ‘If someone is using some place, he does not have paper in that place and claims that it is an unregistered Waqf by user. If the property is government in the government’s records, will it not be investigated? The petitioners had objected to the registration of the property in the hearing yesterday and said that where will the 100-200 year old Waqf papers come from,
On the plea of SG Tushar Mehta, Chief Justice Bhushan Ramakrishna Gavai said that but the petitioners say that the government itself will investigate its claim. Tushar Mehta said, ‘Revenue officials will investigate the land revenue records. He will not decide any final ownership. The affected side has a way to go to court.
SG Mehta said that people had problems with the investigation of the collector, then another officer was decided. He will only amend the revenue record and amend. The CJI asked the SG that there would be an entry on paper only. Tushar Mehta said on the question of CJI Gavai, “Yes, if the government wants ownership, it will also file a civil case.”
The petitioners also had an objection to whether anyone could object to the property and then whether the property belongs to the government, it will also be decided by the government of the government. He said that as soon as the dispute on property starts, she will go to the government i.e. Waqf will not remain and if the board goes to court, then the property will remain the property of the government until the court comes to court.
