””Judgment Under the Stars: Waqf Board Verdict and India’s Celestial Crossroads””
The Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 has become a focal point of legal and political discourse in India, with its constitutional validity currently under scrutiny in the Supreme Court.
As of April 17, 2025, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments concerning the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. Over 100 petitions have been filed challenging the Act, citing concerns over religious autonomy and constitutional rights. Prominent petitioners include Congress MP Mohammad Jawed, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi, and the Communist Party of India (CPI).
The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has also approached the Supreme Court, labeling the Act as an “unconstitutional assault on religious autonomy.”
A bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna is presiding over the case. During the hearings, the Court questioned the government’s rationale for including non-Muslim members in Waqf Boards, drawing parallels to the management of Hindu religious trusts.
⚖️ Key Provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025
The Act introduces several significant changes:
-
Removal of “Waqf by user”: Eliminates the recognition of properties as Waqf based solely on long-term use.
-
Alteration of administrative roles: Transfers the responsibilities of the Survey Commissioner to district-level officers.
-
Inclusion of non-Muslim members: Mandates representation of non-Muslims in Waqf Boards and the Central Waqf Council.
-
Establishment of separate Boards: Proposes distinct Boards for Bohra and Agakhani communities.
-
Centralized registration portal: Introduces a unified digital platform for Waqf property registration.
-
Application of the Limitation Act: Subjects Waqf properties to the Limitation Act, 1963, potentially affecting perpetual claims.
These provisions have sparked debates over their impact on the autonomy of religious institutions and the management of Waqf properties.Live Law
🗣️ Government and State Responses
Seven BJP-ruled states, including Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Assam, and Haryana, have filed affidavits in the Supreme Court supporting the Act’s constitutional validity.
The central government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, has defended the amendments, asserting that they aim to enhance transparency and efficiency in Waqf property management.
🔍 Judicial Observations
In prior judgments, the Supreme Court has clarified the procedures for declaring properties as Waqf. In a 2023 ruling, the Court stated that mere publication by a Waqf Board is insufficient to declare a property as Waqf; a thorough inquiry under Section 40 of the Waqf Act is mandatory.
Furthermore, the Court has held that land dedicated for religious purposes is not immune from vesting with the state, emphasizing the need for adherence to statutory processes.
📅 Next Steps
The Supreme Court is scheduled to continue hearings on the matter, with the next session set for 5th May, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The Court has sought detailed responses from the central government regarding the inclusion of non-Muslim members in Waqf Boards and other contested provisions.
The outcome of this case will have significant implications for the governance of Waqf properties and the broader discourse on religious autonomy in India.
🔮 Supreme Court Hearing on Waqf Board Case – Astrological Analysis and Future Predictions
Date & Time of Hearing: 17th April 2025, 14:00 IST, New Delhi
Prepared by: Astrologer Anil Aggarwala
🌞 Chart Basics & Planetary Configuration at Hearing Time
-
Ascendant (Lagna): Leo (Simha)
-
Lagna Lord: Sun exalted in Aries (9th house, trine of Dharma)
-
Sun’s Dispositor: Mars, placed in the 12th house (loss, confinement) Hence the Lagna Lord becomes weak, also Sun is Avyogi and placed in the 9th house does not bring favourable results for the Plaintiff.
-
Saturn, Venus and Mercury–Rahu conjunction: In the 8th house (Pisces), creating emotional volatility and hidden motives
- Venus exaltation sign good for the Govt. Strong benefic for justice and land-related matters
-
Jupiter in the 10th house and the exchange with 10th Lord makes Jupiter and Venus very strong – Yet Jupiter weakened.
⚖️ Courtroom Dynamics – Who Wins?
In classical Jyotish litigation analysis:
-
Plaintiff = Lagna + Houses from 9th to 2nd
-
Opponent (in this case, Govt) = 7th house + Houses from 3rd to 8th
-
More benefics = advantage and success
💠 Plaintiff’s Side (Waqf Board / Challengers):
-
Lagna lord Sun exalted in 9th – appears strong, but dispositor in the 12th house and Sun also Avyogi in the 9th house is weak
-
Mars, dispositor of Sun (and 9th lord), is placed in 12th house – loss, constraint, and exile
-
Jupiter in 10th – Only benefic on Plaintiff’s side
- 💠 Opponent’s Side (Govt / Reform Push):
-
Mercury and Venus in 8th: Shows hidden strength and institutional momentum for Defender Govt.
-
Total three benefics (Jupiter, Moon, Mercury) fall on Govt’s side
🟰 Conclusion:
Based on benefic distribution and planet strength:
➡️ The balance tilts in favour of the Government
➡️ Plaintiff (Waqf side) faces challenges, constraints, and loss of earlier advantage
🌘 Sun–Jupiter Weakness: A Deceptive Strength
Though Sun is exalted in the 9th house, it is not truly empowered due to:
-
Avayogi status – obstructing dharmic output
-
Dispositor Mars in the 12th – brings cancellation of expected luck
-
Exchange of Jupiter (10th lord) with Mars (8th lord) weakens both career and judgmental clarity
This leads to hollow authority and delayed or unfavorable outcome for the plaintiff.
🗓️ Timing of Critical Developments: August–September 2025
📌 Key Planetary Triggers:
-
Ketu enters Lagna (Leo) – End of May 2025
-
Mercury joins around same time in Sept. 2025 – Triggering litigation phase
-
Solar Eclipse – 7th September 2025 on the Leo–Aquarius axis
-
Eclipse falls on Lagna–7th axis of the case chart → Major legal culmination or disruption
🔮 Prediction:
⚠️ “A major reversal or legal blow to the Waqf institutional claim is foreseen between late August to mid-September 2025, particularly around the eclipse on September 7. Alternatively, this outcome may manifest within one year from the hearing date – whichever is earlier.”
As per India Republic Chart of India the Analysis is below.
26th Jan 1950 10:18 hrs New Delhi the Chart is below
The Running Dasha is of Jupiter Rahu from the 24-1-2025 is enigmatic dasha ad also chidra dasha it is considered most malefic till 20-6-2027
Transit of Rahu north node of Moon over the Natal Rahu and Eclipses in the Lagna of the chart of Republic Chart and also in the Ascendent of the Foundation chart of the Supreme Court in the 1/7 Axis of Mars in both cases and Mars, Rahu. Ketu in close degrees of the Eclipse is most crucial for the Foundation chart of the Country and the Supreme Court of India specially when Transit Mars Ammunition dump activates the Eclipse point of 14.47 degrees in Pisces when Mars will be in Leo with Ketu between 2nd -3rd July 2025. Ketu is already over the Natal Ketu and Mars till 28th May 2025, further when Mars goes in Virgo over the Natal Mars and Ketu will further explode the things both in the Case of the Foundation chart of Republic for India and the foundation chart of Supreme Court. Surprisingly Both the charts are identical since the date 26th in case of Republic chart and in case of Supreme Court 28th Jan 1950 and the time is 9:45 hrs
In the case of the Supreme Court the Dasha of Mercury-Venus is in operation till Jan 2028. in both the Charts of the Republic foundation Chart and the Supreme Court Chart Mercury is fallen in the 10th house makes the chart Precarious. Specially when the Dasha is also in operation in the Case of Supreme Court and Both Mercury and Venus are afflicted. I am afraid to give the Predictions on this since Fallen Planet in the 10th house brings a bad name .
