Public opinion surrounding the Supreme Court's ruling on Waqf registration is sharply divided, reflecting confusion, frustration, and significant skepticism regarding the implications for community rights and governance. While some commenters support the amendments for promoting clarity and fairness, there exists a strong current of dissent, highlighting concerns over potential misuse of Waqf properties, fear of politicization, and a call for the abolition of the Waqf system itself in the context of a secular democracy.

Just curious.. What will happen if Waqf Board decides to declare the SC as its property? 

7_E-N-D_7

SC has previously refused to listen to WAQF land grabs

Just look at the speed of judgement

pratyush_1991

What are the chances of sc declaring waqf amendment bill as unconstitutional?

khushi4you

10 years since bjp is in power and this is what they're managing.

A corrupt of the corrupt supreme court.

WhatInTheBruh

These judges should stand in the elections themselves cause they want everything to run their way after all.

Melodic-Audience1568

The Supreme court is using waqf as a blackmail, after recent cash found at hc judge there was pressure to disband collegium, they are trying to blackmail bjp into not going ahead with judicial reforms.

Fresh_Bee6411

The supreme court cannot do anything.

In the worst-case scenario it can declare the amendment as unconstitutional.

Then, Modi can simply invoke Article 368 or the 9th Amendment to overturn the court's judgement.

Or he can bring an ordinance to overturn the judgement. 

The only thing the supreme court can do is strike down the amendment on the basis of the claim that it violates the BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE CONSTITUTION.

However, this amendment doesn't violate the basic structure of the Indian constitution at all. 

So in short, it is all up to Modi. 

What Modi wants to do? Does he want to overturn the court's judgement by bringing an ordinance, invoking Article 368, or using the 9th amendment.


India is a parliamentary democracy.

Parliament &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Supreme Court

Modi &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Supreme Court

Modi has the powers like bringing Ordinances, using Article 368, and invoking the 9th amendment which can simply nullify the supreme court's decisions.

[deleted]

So the government compromised only on point 2.
Point 1 was what the govt has put it in the act as far as I remember

yaaro_obba_

They declared some of the court premises as Waqf property. So, you know how is this going to go down.

That's the best they can do.

Imagine the amount of court cases will be filled due to this. They are preventing future mishaps. If any

Sea_Sea1573

We don't even know the inside working of the supreme court. We need transparency in the waqf board and supreme court as well. And if they are against this bill, 
then hindu should protest over the 

"hindu religious and charitable amendment act" 

If they don't want anything to do with the waqf board then we don't want the government to have anything to do with our religious processes as well. Talk about equality.

saransh-1

Supreme court ne tab waqf ki vaidhanikta pe sawaal uthaye jab kanun me kaha gya supreme court ya aadalto me waqf ke mamle nahi sune ja sakte? Kya ye karne ki aajadi samvidhan deta tha congress ko 1995 me?

Dragon199242

not surprised tbh. the whole waqf thing has been controversial from the start. gonna be interesting to see what the SC decides on this one. anyone know when they're supposed to make a ruling?

The solution to your problem is political not legal. Contact your local BJP MLA (especially since you live in UP), physically go to your local BJP office and tell them what's happening.

UnsafestSpace

Wait...i thought Waqf couldn't be challenged in any court and only in front of Tribunal...

Full-Wealth-5962

Setup a temple on part of land with compund wall and organise ceremonies.
Use rest of land can be used for other purpose after few years.

Hey , do you have the land survey no. ? we can then find the previous owner's name (i.e your grandfather) and you can use that as a proof.

don't let them steal your land, do whatever you can to get as much documents to prove that it was your land, use all the evidence you currently have and any documents you can get from government of possible, be ready to bribe if necessary for the greater good. Don't let those theives rob you lot. You can even sell the land to someone if you want but don't let them steal it.

Unlikely_Parsnip_916

Firstly get hands old 7/12 of that land and you have purchased it before get Transfer Certificate too, you will find it in collectors office/online. Challenge this in revenue court or petition in highcourt. It's a easy case dw.

Fan-force

If the land is not much useful or will not fetch a price make the place as a smashan ghat and donate to the village.. Tit for tay

plastoph

They lost legitimacy with me back in '24 when they reached down and delayed all of Trump's trials until after the election.

They're corrupt partisan hacks, and they don't believe in representative government at all.   They think all that stuff is a bunch of bullshit, and they know better.  History will remember them just as we remember the Dredd Scott court, as an evil cabal which will preside over the end of the country, either its dissolution or its collapse into dictatorship.

Achilles_TroySlayer

They already legalized "gratuities," do you need them to spell it out for you?

Opposite-Program8490

As they move more and more to the shadow docket, they actually explain less and less.

Evangelical christian fundamentalism has taken over the SCOTUS.

This is why the Founding Fathers didn't include religion as a means to freedom, in the formation of our Constitution.

forrestfaun

Because they are ideologically aligned with him? Isn't that it?

Gabby-Abeille

Because the majority of them are Republican appointees and they have legalized bribery.

eccentricbananaman

A decades long stacked/corrupted legal system courtesy of Bitch McConnell and a wanna be dick tater. Not much explanation needed.

Ori0n21

They should. But they won’t. I’ve never understood why it’s okay for ANY judge to lean one way or the other. Being a judge, especially one on the Supreme Court, should mean you don’t have ANY religious affiliation. You should be completely bipartisan too. They should make decisions based on logic and based on the constitution. That’s it. Maybe one day, if we survive this, we will get it right.

RiverHarris

&gt;Because fuck you...

Roriborialus

“Must”? Who says so? Don’t get me wrong: I wish they would; but who says so?

MayBeMilo

You mean the same supreme Court known to actively take bribes?

There hasn't been legitimacy in the supreme Court since turtle McConnell blocked Obama's picks in the mod 2000s.

Fuckthegopers

I lost faith when Brett 'Beer Keg' Kavanaugh was determined to be the best candidate for the job.

MaestroLogical

I think that the simplest explanation is the most likely to be correct: the majority of SCOTUS believes that the challenged policies of Trump are the best policies for the country. They WANT people summarily deported to foreign prisons without being afforded any of their rights. They WANT people deported to countries with which they have no association. They WANT the chaos of different standards of citizenship depending on where in the US an infant is born. They WANT federal agencies destroyed and defunded, and they don't care about the consequences. They WANT POTUS to be able to unilaterally ignore laws written by Congress. I know that all of the 6 would vehemently deny most of what I just said, but if they won't do that in a written opinion published by SCOTUS with their signatures attached, I simply do not believe their denials.

jpmeyer12751

Who’s gonna force them, the Supreme Cour— oh

mcwfan

Simple answer: because a majority of SCOTUS wants a Christo-fascist America, and trump is the one to make it happen

tom21g

When people talk about hopelessness, this is the reason. The court will constrict any democratic president, and allow anything from a republican president. No republican SC seat will EVER be turned over to a democratic appointment. Never. They will blackmail or pay off or whatever it takes to make sure that’s true. RBG can only happen to democrats because they are naive.

cornborncornbread

You say "must" as if you believe they are, somehow, magically compelled to be decent human beings. 

They aren't. 

They can do anything they're not arrested for. 

berael

PainterEarly86

Explain to who? Who is going to police them? The Legislative branch? The international court? Trump? As if they have to answer to anyone.

LadySayoria

My personal belief, for which I have scant evidence, is that while the SCOTUS justices aren't paid directly by wealthy conservatives, their entire family and all their friends are hired in high-paying jobs to maintain their compliance. That said, I despise every single one of the current justices for signing the Roberts letter that said that SCOTUS should not have any oversight whatsoever. They ALL NEED TO GO!!

Citizens Untied was the end of Democracy.

fishenfooll

They’re not ruling in Trump’s favor as if threatened in some way. The majority “SC justices” are extreme right-wing Christians that align, support, and agree with the “politics” of trump and the elected Republican Party.

Various_Station_524

lol, must explain. Who’s gonna make ‘em

rbhrbh2

Ha. Even when anyone with a brain already knows?

Why exactly do you think we'd gain anything by them providing some BS explanation for it? We just know it's happening and it will continue and there is nothing we will do about it.

whatidoidobc

"It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves. We don't. To anyone."

sphinxcreek

And here I thought they were supposed to rule in favor of the law.

Numerous_Photograph9

If it is broke, replace it completely next term

Fun-Metal-6861

Didn't they already say that they don't owe anyone an explanation?

OrcOfDoom

We already know why-they are bought and paid for.

Timely-Youth-9074

the supreme court *is neither.* it's a right wing christofascist cartel.

_thetommy

Umm...No? They do not need to explain themselves...

...that's the whole fucking problem

freddysweetcakes

All of them bought, paid for, and likely Epstein clients. Time to reelect everyone in DC

SketchSkirmish

Hey remember that time Trump was found liable of forcefully shoving his fingers up a woman's vagina by a jury of his American peers and then Republicans voted for him? Republicans knowingly vote for molesters. Don't be Republican... Hard to be a shittier or more hypocritical American than a Republican these days

Medical_Arugula3315

Im not a know all.  So take this with a grain of salt.  

The union being essential canceled everywhere for government employees due to national security executive order is another one. How can Trumps EO be knocked down by federal judges after the union has been around for half a century and not allow unions to hep employees bargaining rights that are legal and signed off by agencies and Congress.  What national security issue is it?  I can’t believe a Judge would take that argument and not dispute its merit

Visible-Perception12

Why must they explain anything to anyone at all? They’ve got lifetime appointments remember? They’ve ruled that they can legally accept bribes and that sitting presidents can commit no crimes remember?

The rule of law is a sacred and real thing…… hahahahaha

BriscoCounty-Sr

Traitors paid by zionists and Russian money, this is all, SCOTUS is corrupt af and we’re going in a timeline where we will have to reform them ourselves and not the gov.

Chaos-Cortex

But.. we know why. They're bought. The 6 Republican judges are bought. 

Trump controls the wh, congress and the scotus. That means you gave a king. 

You're gonna have to reclaim democracy, for now there is none in the US

Parking_Locksmith489

Because he stacked the court and republicans helped him. Conservatives have been attacking democracy for decades, if not centuries, and now they’ve cheated their way into power.

ThighRyder

Yowiman

Must?  The only thing they must do is follow the orders of their dark money handlers.

It is past time to simply ignore them, they no longer serve any purpose save that of destroying the Constitution and aiding Fascism

Fuzzy_Translator4639

Democracy is over. That’s the explanation.

TomAtowood

No they don’t, and that is the problem.

Captain_Roastbeef

No it doesn't.  They're fucking fascists.

humansarefilthytrash

They are bought and paid for. Most lied in the hearings…actually committed perjury. So we shouldn’t surprised the will forever be known as the SCOTUS that nullified our Constitution!

kislips

Being a Supreme Court justice means never having to say you’re sorry.

PdxGuyinLX

He stacked the courts with people he has dirt on. Is this a real question?

cablemigrant

The Supreme Court is half the problem with this country. Either expand it reduce it or reorganize its structure and rules. There’s no way something ruled on decades ago should be overturned. Period. One step forward 2 steps back.

crazy010101

Cause there’s people on the Supreme Court that are in the trumpstein files too

brk816

The stole the seat from Obama for a reason lmao that was the time to get pissed.

Fun-Bug5106

Because Peter Theil and The Heritage Foundation bought them for their Christian Nationalist wet dreams.

BJDixon1

The only answer is to pack the court and ad term limits. That’ll never happen. They are deeply political and the evangelical Christians and right wing Catholics played the generational game and have won.

Chazxcure

They’re actually reading the constitution now?

Revenant_adinfinitum

This is dumb. Even when they issue a majority opinion it’s just gaslighting. This SCOTUS’ does not care what the legal justification of their rulings are. I mean in Trump v. CASA they put English common law above the US constitution in order to justify their ruling.

It’s actually more honest when they use the shadow docket and don’t pretend there’s a justification.

bentforkman

The title is extremely misleading. Clickbait ass article.

AspieAsshole

The Supreme Court is a kangaroo court. Absolutely disgusting.

ziggystardust8282

false headline.  "must" as an opinion by the author, not by any rule of "law"

jtrades69

Supreme Court is always biased. Dem majority courts rule in favor of Dems, GOP majority courts rule in favor of GOP.

Bassist57

kublakhan1816

Do you really have to ask?? Isn't it obvious why they rule in his favor??  I'd rather expend the energy on remedies for dealing with an unethical court. At some point, when we win the midterms, we need to talk about impeachment.

RiseDelicious3556

He appointed half of them and told roberts dont forget who gave you control. Its that simple, oh and bags if cash.

Bond4real007

Every shadow docket, and every ruling in Trump’s favor is one more step towards 
 reforming and reining in that corrupt court.

Street_Barracuda1657

donquizo

lardlad71

Time to add judges next time Dems in power. These fuckers are outcome driven regardless of methodology

Own-Opinion-2494

It is because they are all part of the same general political project. 

That is the explanation.  

Do you need them to admit it or something?

Ok-Replacement9595

I think you mean should not must. There is nothing to compel

Sharkwatcher314

Because they have no enforcement mechanism, so if they go too far and end up causing the executive to call the bluff of the court, that would basically invalidate the entire judicial branch

StreetyMcCarface

They won't nor is there any value in asking them in the first place. 

We already know why they do it and acting as if there could be any other explanation does nothing but muddy the waters.

Artistic-Cannibalism

they have to do what their billionaire sponsors tell them or no more yacht trips!
