The Union government of India informed the Supreme Court that a 2013 amendment to the Waqf Act, which removed the prohibition on enforcing rights over unregistered waqfs, has led to an increase in Waqf Board properties across the country. The government submitted a 1,300-page affidavit defending the Waqf Act, stating that the law has no defects and emphasizing that the Waqf is a statutory, not a religious, institution. In 2025, the government implemented the Waqf Amendment Act to ensure proper protection and management of Waqf properties, aiming to make the administration more transparent and streamlined and to resolve disputes efficiently. The Supreme Court refused to entertain a plea filed by Senior Advocate Rauf Rahim challenging certain provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. Additionally, the court agreed to hear the Shahi Eidgah Mosque Committee's petition alongside previous petitions in the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi case. The mosque committee has challenged the Allahabad High Court's decision to allow the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the central government to be included in the matter.
