Delhi High Court Seeks Centre and Delhi Govt Response on Waqf Board Constitution Plea
The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre and Delhi government to respond to a petition seeking the constitution of the Delhi Waqf Board, as mandated by the Waqf Act of 1995 and its 2025 amendment. The previous Board's tenure ended in August 2023, and despite appointing an administrator in January 2024, no new Board has been formed. The petitioner argued this delay breaches statutory obligations and risks waqf properties facing encroachment and misuse, affecting beneficiaries including the Muslim community. The court has given four weeks for replies.
