flag Delhi High Court upholds 1980 mosque Wakf designations, rejects delayed PIL over public interest misuse.

flag 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. flag 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. flag It criticized the petitioner for repeatedly filing similar cases, warning against misusing PILs for publicity or personal motives. flag The court upheld the long-standing Wakf designation, stressing that PILs must serve public welfare, not private agendas.
