Summary: A legal battle unfolds as Masjid and Madarsa Gausiya challenges the demolition of their buildings, claiming wrongful actions by authorities. The court, however, finds inconsistencies in their claims, leading to serious consequences.
Masjid and Madarsa Gausiya, registered under the Waqf Act, found themselves in a legal fight with the State of Maharashtra. The issue? Their buildings were set to be torn down by the authorities, even though they were a registered religious site.
On September 9, 2025, Masjid and Madarsa Gausiya urgently asked the court to stop the demolition planned for September 11. Their lawyer, Mr. A.A. Siddique, argued that tearing down the site was unfair since it was a registered religious place.
"The buildings were wrongfully being demolished," claimed Mr. Siddique.
Mr. Khandeparkar, representing the developers, accused Masjid and Madarsa Gausiya of trying to get money by lying. He pointed out that they had previously agreed to leave the place for redevelopment.
"This is a classic case of trying to get money unfairly," argued Mr. Khandeparkar.
Masjid and Madarsa Gausiya were accused of misleading the court by hiding important facts. They had initially agreed to leave but later opposed the demolition, trying to change the name from a school to a religious site without proper reason.
Judge Kamal Khata found Masjid and Madarsa Gausiya guilty of misusing the court's process. The court decided to reject their request and make them pay, citing their attempt to mislead and block justice.
"The Applicants have misused the process of this Court," stated Judge Khata.
The court ordered Masjid and Madarsa Gausiya to pay Rs. 2,50,000 to an old age home and started legal actions against them for lying. The buildings were considered illegal, and they were labeled as trespassers.
The court concluded that Masjid and Madarsa Gausiya misled the court and abused the legal process. As a result, their request was dismissed, and they faced financial penalties and legal consequences.
