• The Supreme Court has reserved its judgment on multiple petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025
• The government plans to roll out the UMEED portal on June 6 to centralize digital registration of all Waqf properties and mandate compliance within six months
• AIMPLB President Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani has condemned the portal as “completely illegal” and tantamount to contempt of court while the Act remains under judicial scrutiny
• The board argues that unregistered properties could be deemed disputed under the new framework, risking loss of community ownership through the Waqf-by-User clause
• The AIMPLB has announced it will file a fresh petition in the Supreme Court and urged state Waqf boards and Muslim citizens to withhold registration until the verdict is delivered
