He said that subject to public order, morality and health, every religious denomination or any section thereof shall have the right to establish and maintain institutions for religious and charitable purposes.Thereby, every religious faith shall manage its own affairs and the matters related to owning and acquiring movable and immovable property.”Who is the State to tell us how inheritance will happen in the religion?” Sibal argued.The petitioners who have moved the SC are: Asaduddin Owaisi, Amanatullah Khan, Association for the Protection of Civil Rights (APCR), Maulana Arshad Madani, Samastha Kerala Jamiathul Ulema, Anjum Kadri and many others.The petitioners claimed that the amendments will distort the religious character of Waqfs, and also ‘irreversibly’ damage the democratic process that governs the administration of Waqfs and Waqf boards.In the same case, the Centre also filed a caveat in the top court. A caveat is a legal document that a party files in a court of law to ascertain and ensure that the court should not pass any order before hearing the side of the caveator.
