Waqf Law case: Supreme Court says 'courts cannot intervene unless....' | Know big points

The Supreme Court on Tuesday observed that laws passed by Parliament carry a presumption of constitutionality, and courts cannot intervene unless a clear and serious constitutional violation is established. Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud made the remark while hearing petitions challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. A bench of Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justice A G Masih was hearing the matter on May 20, with the Centre urging the court to confine the scope of the hearing to three key issues. These include the powers of Waqf boards to de-notify properties declared Waqf by a court, a user, or a deed.
