300 families caught in Waqf land tangle
The Telangana State Waqf Board’s (TSWB) legal battle over claiming 90 acres of land located in Guttala Begumpet, currently in Serilingampally mandal in Ranga Reddy district, has been playing havoc with the lives of around 300 families of the Jubilee Pallavi Enclave (JPE) for the last two decades.
Hyderabad: The Telangana State Waqf Board’s (TSWB) legal battle over claiming 90 acres of land located in Guttala Begumpet, currently in Serilingampally mandal in Ranga Reddy district, has been playing havoc with the lives of around 300 families of the Jubilee Pallavi Enclave (JPE) for the last two decades.
It comes close on the heels of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) waging a legal battle against the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Waqf Board's (UPSWB) decision to declare the Taj Mahal as waqf property.
The UPSWB's claims ownership on Taj citing that Moghul emperor jailed by his own son in the fag end of his life had executed a deed in favour of the UPSWB.
In a similar fashion, the TSWB claims that the son of Shah Jahan, controversial Moghul emperor had bequeathed the lands in Serilingampally for charitable purposes.
The whole story of the legal battle about the lands having revenue records since 1926 has come to fore in 1980 when a dispute over the land turned sore between the two parties.
But, the same had been settled in a series of meeting of the divisional and district officials confirming the claims in favour of JPE.
Following this, the then Andhra Pradesh Waqf Board (APWB), now TSWB had approached the Land Grabbing Court (LGC) against the JPEs.
The basis for the APWB, was based on a gazette notification issued in December 1988, declaring that the lands were a gift by the Moghul emperor Aurangzeb. However, the same was rejected by the LGC.
