High Court restrains Anjuman trust from protesting near disputed Jor Bagh karbala

“Keeping in view the contentions advanced by Additional Solicitor General and the averments in the secret report as well as present applications, till further orders, Respondents 1 to 4 (office bearers of Ajuman-e-Haideri) and the organisation Anjuman-e-Haideri are restrained from protesting anywhere in Delhi in relation to the dispute over the karbala, except at pre-designated sites for peaceful protest — Jantar Mantar and Ramlila Maidan — after seeking due permission,” the court of Justice Manmohan said.

The trust has been locked in a legal tussle regarding a plot of land next to the Jor Bagh karbala. Two nurseries have come up on a site where old graves are located. The issue of ownership has led to several clashes between the owners of the nursery and the members of the Anjuman over the past two years.

Delhi Waqf Board counsel Mehmood Pracha and Anjuman counsel Tasneem Ahmadi denied the allegations made by police.
