Supreme Court stays key provisions of Waqf (Amendment) Act
India’s Supreme Court has granted major relief by pausing key provisions of the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Act.
This includes the clause requiring a person to practice Islam for at least 5 years before declaring a property as waqf.
The court also stayed the Collector’s power to decide whether a property qualifies as waqf.
However, the 2-judge bench stopped short of striking down the entire statute, which had triggered nationwide protests earlier this year.
Main accused in Delhi BMW case arrested
Gaganpreet Kaur, accused of driving the BMW involved in the tragic accident that killed Navjot Singh, a deputy secretary in the Union Finance Ministry, was arrested today.

The victim’s wife alleged that instead of taking them to the nearest hospital, they were taken to a hospital 19 km away — reportedly co-owned by Gaganpreet’s father.
