Hyderabad: Controversy over disputed piece of land
Board CEO Shahnawaz Khasim said the Board had not issued the letter, and called it a fake.
Hyderabad: The Wakf Board was once again mired in controversy over the alleged no objection certificate (NOC) regarding a four-acre parcel of land under Surveys No. 247, 250 and 251 of Manikonda Jagir, attached to the Dargah Hazrat Hussain Shah Wali.
Local reports had claimed that a letter with the signature of the Wakf Board Chief Executive Officer had been sent to the Ranga Reddy collector stating that the land was not a registered Wakf property.
In response, Wakf Board chairman Mohd Saleem said on Monday that he had inquired internally found no NOC had been issued. He asked the CEO to lodge a police complaint and take action against the persons involved. He said instructions were given to write to the collector against proceediing on this matter and to cancel the proceedings if any issued earlier.
Board CEO Shahnawaz Khasim said the Board had not issued the letter, and called it a fake. He said the style and content of the letter did not match the pattern of the communication of Board.
Mr Khasim said the collector had informed him that his office had not issued any NOC on Wakf properties in Manikonda Jagir.
