Delhi High Court Reviews Petition to Protect Race Course Masjid from Demolition
The Delhi High Court is hearing a petition by worshipper Syed Ahmed Saud seeking protection and unrestricted access to the Race Course Masjid, a Grade-II heritage and Waqf-notified structure near the Prime Minister's residence. The Centre assured the court it will not take coercive action or demolish the mosque until October 29, following disconnection of utilities amid a larger demolition drive of nearby jhuggi clusters. The Delhi Waqf Board has submitted representations regarding the mosque's status, and the court will review the matter further on October 29.
