Delhi High Court Seeks Centre and Delhi Govt Response on Constituting Waqf Board
The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre and Delhi government to respond to a petition seeking the constitution of the Delhi Waqf Board, following the expiry of the previous board's tenure in August 2023. Despite appointing an administrator in January 2024, the board has not been reconstituted, which the petitioner argues breaches statutory obligations under the Waqf Act. The plea highlights risks to waqf properties and the deprivation of statutory safeguards for beneficiaries. The court has given four weeks for replies.
