The move comes amid ongoing Supreme Court of India hearings challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. AIMPLB Opposes Government’s Launch of Waqf Umeed Portal On June 5, 2025, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) publicly opposed the Central government’s decision to launch the Waqf Umeed Portal on June 6. The AIMPLB claims that the launch is unlawful and constitutes contempt of court, as the legal basis for the portal—the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025—is currently under judicial scrutiny in the Supreme Court of India. What Is the Controversy Over the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025? The amendment to the Waqf Act 1995 aims to regulate Waqf properties, which are assets reserved for religious and charitable purposes under Islamic law. However, this new legislation has sparked widespread opposition: Several Muslim organizations, including AIMPLB, reject the amendment. Opposition parties, human rights groups, and minority communities (including Sikh and Christian groups) have voiced concerns. The Act is being challenged for allegedly discriminating against the Muslim community by affecting its constitutional rights over religious endowments. Supreme Court’s Role in the Waqf Amendment Dispute The Supreme Court of India is currently hearing multiple petitions challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. Key points include: The Court reserved its decision after extensive hearings led by Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justice Augustine George Masih. Petitions were filed by prominent MPs such as Mohammad Jawed (Congress (Indian National Congress)) and Asaduddin Owaisi (All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen). Six BJP-governed states, including Haryana and Maharashtra, have filed intervention pleas supporting the amendment. The main legal debate focuses on the removal of “waqf by user” from the Act’s definition, which affects historical mosques, graveyards, and charitable properties. Why AIMPLB Considers the Portal Launch Contempt of Court AIMPLB argues that launching the Waqf Umeed Portal and mandating Waqf property registration before the Supreme Court’s ruling violates the court’s authority. The Board urges: Muslims and State Waqf Boards to avoid using the portal until the Court issues its verdict. The government to halt enforcement of the amendment until the legal challenges are resolved. Centre’s Defense of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 The Union government claims the amendment is necessary to curb misuse of Waqf provisions, which previously allowed encroachment on private and public lands. Key points from the Centre’s defense include: A 116% increase in “auqaf area” since the 2013 Waqf Act amendment highlighted growing misuse. The abolition of “waqf by user” aims to ensure that Waqf property registrations meet legal requirements. The government insists that the right to dedicate property for religious purposes remains protected, but under a regulated legal framework. What’s Next for the Waqf Amendment Legal Battle? With the Supreme Court’s decision pending, this case remains a critical issue for religious rights, property regulation, and minority protections in India. The outcome will impact: The future regulation of Waqf properties. The relationship between the government and religious communities. Legal definitions and protections for historical religious sites.

New Delhi: As the contentious Waqf Amendment Bill seeks the President‘s approval after passing both Houses of Parliament, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has joined the Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi‘s AIMIM as the third major opposition party to take on the bill in the Supreme Court. Opposition parties contend that the proposed legislation, which aims to modify the 1995 law managing Waqf properties, is biased and threatens Muslims. AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan said in his plea that the government’s intervention violates minorities’ rights to run own institutions and that the amendment will diminish Muslims’ religious autonomy. Nonetheless, the government has insisted that the measure will help Muslim women and guarantee openness in the administration of Waqf properties. Mr. Khan contested the Waqf Amendment Bill’s constitutionality, claiming that it infringes upon multiple basic liberties of citizens, such as the freedom of equality, the management of religious matters, and the rights of minorities. He said that the measure violates minorities’ rights to run their religious and philanthropic organizations, restricts Muslims’ religious and cultural autonomy, and permits capricious presidential intervention. His suit comes after two other opposition MPs, Asaduddin Owaisi and Mohammad Jawed, of the Congress, filed identical objections. The law prejudices against Muslims by enforcing limits that are absent from the governance of other religious institutions, according to Mr. Jawed, a member of the joint parliamentary commission on the Waqf bill. The law’s provision allowing non-Muslims to serve on state boards and Waqf councils is one of the main points of contention. According to Mr. Owaisi, this is a serious constitutional infringement and isn’t the instance with the Hindu Endowment Board or the Jain Endowment Board. Speaking to NDTV yesterday, Mr. Owaisi claimed that the BJP is utilizing the vast majority in parliament to wage a war on Muslims by passing legislation that will ruin and take away all of their rights rather than reforms. BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad defended the bill, telling NDTV that it will increase transparency by holding Waqf boards responsible. He made it clear that no mosque or cemetery will be impacted in an effort to dispel concerns that the measure would seize Waqf sites. After a contentious debate between the opposition and treasury benches, the Lok Sabha passed the Waqf bill Thursday morning by 288 votes to 232. The Rajya Sabha then passed it with 128 votes in favor and 95 against. Following Friday’s weekly prayers, the bill’s approval triggered massive demonstrations in cities including Ahmedabad, Chennai, and Kolkata.
