Hyderabad: A petition was moved in the AP High Court on Friday challenging the inaction of the state government in protecting Wakf lands.
Syed Farees Ahmed, a resident of the city, had moved the petition stating that the government had issued GO 374 in June, 2002, to constitute task force at the district-level with senior officers of the revenue and police departments to protect the Wakf properties. He alleged that till date, the GO has not been implemented despite several representations. He urged the court to direct the government to ensure that the task force is formed in all the districts.
