Delhi High Court seeks govt’s response on plea to constitute Delhi Waqf Board
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has sought response from the central government, and others on a petition to constitute the Delhi Waqf Board.
Justice Anish Dayal issued notice to the governments on a petition, which sought to complete the statutory process for constitution of the Board in accordance with the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
The petition claimed that after the expiry of the tenure of the last Delhi Waqf Board in August 2023, “no steps have been taken by authorities concerned for the constitution of a fresh Board”. It argued that the Delhi government appointed an administrator in January 2024, but the board was still not constituted despite being required by law.
