Supreme Court to Hear Plea Challenging Gujarat High Court Order on Waqf Court Fees
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a plea challenging a Gujarat High Court order that upheld the rejection of waqf suits due to non-payment of court fees. The Gujarat High Court ruled that waqf institutions are not exempt from paying court fees before the State Waqf Tribunal, relying on a December 2025 decision. The Ahmedabad Sunni Muslim Waqf Committee argues that neither the Waqf Act nor its Rules require such payments. The Supreme Court has issued a notice for a hearing within six weeks.
