Delhi High Court lets Centre inspect de-listed Waqf properties

The Delhi High Court has allowed the Centre to carry out inspection of 123 delisted properties taken over from the Delhi Waqf Board. Earlier this year, the land and development office of the urban affairs ministry had decided to take over 123 properties from the board, which included mosques, dargah and graveyards, based on the report of a 2-member panel. The deputy L&DO in a letter to board chairman on February 8 had informed about the decision to absolve the Delhi Waqf Board from all matters related to the 123 properties based on the committee report.
