HC asks Centre to respond to plea by Delhi Waqf Board; next hearing on Sept. 29
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Centre to respond to a plea by Delhi Waqf Board, seeking the preservation and protection of its heritage properties that are likely to be impacted by the ongoing Central Vista Redevelopment Project.
The Waqf Board sought the preservation and protection of six of its properties in the area within which the redevelopment work was ongoing.
The properties are Masjid Zabta Ganj at Mansingh Road, Jama Masjid at Red Cross Road, Masjid Sunehri Bagh Road Near Udyog Bhawan, Mazar Sunehri Bagh Road behind Moti Lal Nehru Marg, Masjid Krishi Bhawan inside Krishi Bhawan Compound and Masjid vice-president at the official residence of the Vice President of India.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
