The Supreme Court of India on Monday (September 15, 2025) declined to stay the entire Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, noting that presumption is always in favour of the constitutionality of a law passed by the legislature.

“It is only in the rarest of rare cases, the court can grant stay of the law challenged. We have found that the case was not made out to stay the entire statute,” a Bench of Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai and Augustine George Masih observed.
