Delhi High Court upholds 1980 mosque Wakf designations, rejects delayed PIL over public interest misuse.
The Delhi High Court dismissed a public interest litigation challenging a 1980 notification classifying three mosques in Jahangirpuri as Wakf properties, ruling the petition lacked genuine intent and was filed over 46 years after the fact.
The court emphasized that challenges to such notifications must be raised within one year under the Muslim Wakfs Act, 1954, and found no evidence linking the land to government acquisition.
It criticized the petitioner for repeatedly filing similar cases, warning against misusing PILs for publicity or personal motives.
The court upheld the long-standing Wakf designation, stressing that PILs must serve public welfare, not private agendas.
El Tribunal Superior de Delhi mantiene las designaciones de las mezquitas Wakf de 1980 y rechaza el PIL retrasado sobre el uso indebido del interés público.
