Delhi High Court Pauses Race Course Mosque Demolition, Denies Access Amid Safety Concerns
The Delhi High Court has paused the demolition of the Race Course mosque near Prime Minister Modi's residence for four weeks, following the Centre's assurance that no coercive action will be taken until the Delhi Waqf Board's representation is decided. The court declined to allow worshippers access to the mosque during ongoing demolition work citing safety concerns. The mosque, a notified Waqf property and heritage site, remains inaccessible, with the next hearing scheduled for December 16, 2026.
