<h1>Stay on Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 provision limiting Waqf creation to those practising Islam five years; full statute preserved</h1> The Supreme Court stayed select provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025-including a provision limiting creation of Waqf to those who have practised Islam for the prior five years-but declined to suspend the entire statute, invoking a presumption of constitutionality; political actors disputed the ruling. The court also accepted a special investigation team's clean chit to a zoological rescue centre and closed related proceedings, and warned that the Bihar special intensive revision of electoral rolls will be set aside if any illegality is found while presuming the Election Commission is acting within law; para-legal volunteers filed over 3,000 online claims in the exercise.
