Supreme Court's interim Waqf order: Win for petitioners or government? Experts debate

The Supreme Court has passed an interim order on the Waqf Act, leading to both petitioners and government supporters claiming a victory. The court rejected the prayer for a blanket stay of the entire statute. However, it put on hold certain provisions that it found prima facie problematic, stating its intention was 'to protect the interest of all parties and to balance equities'. The order stems from potential executive overreach, particularly a provision that allowed a collector to decide on Waqf property. While one side views the rejection of a blanket stay as a validation of Parliament's legislative competence, the other sees the stay on contentious provisions as a significant check on the law. The matter will continue to be heard by the court. So, with both sides claiming victory, who really has the upper hand? Watch as experts share their views on the show.
