New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Monday asked a charitable society, whose illegally built
mosque was razed in Jangpura area of the city, to rebuild the
structure on an alternative site given by the Delhi Development
Authority (DDA).
The DDA razed the mosque early January, sparking protests by members
of the community.
The DDA told the court that Noor Charitable Society, which ran the
mosque, has been given 400 square metres of land just 100 metres
away from where the previous structure stood.
Justice G.S. Sistani directed the society to immediately vacate the
DDA land.
The court said that DDA has already constructed a boundary wall to
repossess the plot. Therefore, the community should not offer prayer
there anymore.
Earlier, the court allowed 10 members of the community to offer
prayers in the compound till March 21.
The court was hearing a petition filed by advocate R.K. Saini of
Jangpura Residents Welfare Association (RWA) against the
encroachment of the DDA land. The court will now hear the case May.
