Additionally, at serial number 122, the Waqf Board claims ownership of the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque within the Qutub Minar complex. Not only that, but the Waqf Board also claims the ancient Ashoka Pillar in the Qutub Minar complex as its property.

Now, let’s show you another case involving the Waqf. This massive building is the Waqf Complex, constructed on government land that the Waqf encroached upon. However, the Tehsildar Court in Bhopal has taken strict action against the Waqf in this matter. The court’s order clearly states that the Waqf encroached upon 27,000 square feet of government land in the heart of the city and carried out illegal construction. The land alone is worth over ?30 crore.

The court has now ordered that the Waqf Board must pay 20% more than the current market value of the government land on which it built. Additionally, the Waqf Board must bear the cost of demolishing the illegal construction on the government land.
