The Delhi High Court has instructed the Delhi Waqf Board to file a plea whenever the Government of India takes action against its properties in relation to the Central Vista Redevelopment Project. Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav emphasized that the project has received Supreme Court approval and urged the board to withdraw its 2021 petition seeking preservation of six historical properties, including significant mosques and a mazar. The counsel for the Waqf Board clarified that they are not opposing the Central Vista project but seek assurance against dispossession. The court permitted the withdrawal of the petition while allowing the board to file a new plea if needed. This directive aims to protect the historical and religious significance of the properties amidst ongoing redevelopment plans. The Waqf Board's concerns have been heightened by previous incidents of property demolition during the project’s progression.
