Petitioners opposing the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, have strongly disputed the Centre’s claim of a 116% increase in waqf properties since 2013, arguing that the statistics are based on incorrect or misrepresented data. In an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court, they clarified that the reported rise includes properties previously registered, now updated on the Waqf Asset Management System of India (WAMSI), not newly acquired ones. The petitioners also raised concerns about the potential impact of the Act on waqf properties, urging the Court to stay its implementation due to potential constitutional issues. (PC: HT PRINT)
