Waqf Amendment Act, 2025: Supreme Court refuses to entertain new petitions

Recently, fresh petitions were filed in the Supreme Court (SC) of India challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025. The SC refused to entertain the fresh petitions and said, “Nothing will be entertained now, you file an impleadment application- all of them .....some of them (pleas) are verbatim same.” Furthermore, the bench granted liberty to the petitioners to withdraw the petitions and file fresh contentions in the ongoing main case as intervenors/impleaders. The matter was heard by a two-judge bench consisting of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar. During the proceedings, Justice Kumar said, “Have heard what the CJI has said? We are not entertaining writ petitions. If you have something to add to what has been said in the other writ petitions which have already been entertained, file an application - raise additional grounds if you have any, that's all.”
