Delhi High Court Pauses Race Course Masjid Demolition Pending Waqf Board Decision
The Delhi High Court has paused the demolition of the Race Course Masjid near the Prime Minister's residence for four weeks, pending a decision on the Delhi Waqf Board's representation. The Centre assured the court that no demolition or coercive action will occur during this period. However, the court declined a worshipper's plea to allow namaz at the mosque, citing safety and access concerns amid ongoing demolition activities. The next hearing is scheduled for December 16, 2026.
