Quick Summary: A court decision allows Imam Abdul Rahman to continue his duties at a Hyderabad mosque, stopping others from interfering without following the proper legal steps.

The Case of Imam Abdul Rahman

In a recent court case, Abdul Rahman claimed to have been the Imam of 'Masjid-E-Hassa' in Baba Nagar, Hyderabad since 1997. However, some people were interfering with his duties. He believed this was happening because of actions by the Waqf Board, which led him to file a legal request to the court.

Who Said What?

During the hearing, several legal representatives were involved:

  • Abdul Rahman's lawyer presented his side.
  • The lawyer for Minority Welfare spoke for the state.
  • The lawyer for Home Affairs represented the local police.
  • Mr. Farhan Azam Khan, the lawyer for the Waqf Board, represented the board's interests.

The lawyer for the Waqf Board assured that any action against Abdul Rahman would follow legal procedures.

"Action if any, against Abdul Rahman, if required, would be taken only in accordance with law."

No Proof, Just Claims

Abdul Rahman didn't have any official documents from the Waqf Board to prove the interference. However, he did file a complaint on December 13, 2024, with the Santosh Nagar police about the issue.

Court's Decision

Justice T. Madhavi Devi ruled that certain individuals must not interfere with Abdul Rahman's duties unless his appointment is legally challenged. If the Waqf Board wants to change the Imam, they must follow the law.

"Individuals are directed not to interfere with the functioning of Abdul Rahman as Imam."

Verdict Summary

The legal request was settled with these instructions, and there were no orders about costs. Any additional requests related to this case were also closed. Justice T. Madhavi Devi ensured that Abdul Rahman could continue his work without unauthorized interference.
