Waqf Amendment Act Challenge : Live Updates From Supreme Court [Hearing On Interim Order]

SG Mehta: Detailed process understaken by Joint Parliamentary Committee-come to my counter Milords. Its not a case where Ministry prepares Bill, the voting takes place mechanically... we are eradicating the menace which was noticed in 1923. It is my case that few of the petitioners can't represent the Muslim community. JPC has 96 sittings we received 97 lac representations

SG Mehta: You have petitions filed by individuals and not those affected..its nobody's case that Parliament didn't have the competence to pass this legislation.

Sr Adv P Wilson also request for sometime, however decline.

CJI: Very difficult to court in this court, no respect here

SG Tushar Mehta to begin

Advocate Banerjee requests for sometime and says he was a part of the JPC. However, the Court declines the request.
