New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Monday appointed a new court commissioner to probe
alleged illegal construction inside the historic Jama Masjid after
the city government counsel requested to be excused from the
assignment.
Justice Rajiv Shakdher appointed counsel Saqib to the post and
asked him to visit the Jama Masjid site to verify allegations that
the Shahi Imam, Syed Ahmad Bukhari, and others had raised illegal
structures. Saqib was asked to file status report within two weeks
as the court posted the matter for Dec 18.
Najimi Waziri, standing counsel for Delhi government, had earlier
asked the court to be excused from being the court commissioner in
the case. "I do not want to act (as the court commissioner) and I
cannot discuss the reasons in the open court," he said.
"Mr. Waziri expressed personal differences in continuing as the
court commissioner. Accordingly Mr. Saqib is going to be the court
commissioner. Necessary assistance would be given to him by the
police. Status report would be filed in two weeks," Justice
Shakdher said Monday.
The court had earlier formed a committee to be headed by Waziri to
visit the Jama Masjid site to verify allegations that the Shahi
Imam with others had raised illegal structures.
Petitioner Suhail Ahmed Khan alleged that in March and April this
year, Bukhari with his three brothers started illegal construction
on encroached government land adjacent to the historical mosque.
Seeking legal action against Imam and his three brothers, the
petitioner asked the court to immediately restrain them from an
ongoing unauthorised illegal construction over the encroached
government land.
