An application has also been given in the court by the local resident, in which it has been told what problems are being faced due to the mosque. The court has also sought a reply from the Waqf Board on this.

The advocate of Sanjauli Hindu Organisation has spoken of a mastermind in the construction who is said to be from another state. Waqf Board’s lawyer Bhoop Singh Thakur said that he has information about the construction of one floor, but he does not know who built the four more floors after that.

Outsiders constructed illegal portion

Some Muslims from other states came to Shimla and bypassing the local mosque committee, they illegally built four more floors of the mosque. Waqf Board has appealed to the court not to demolish the mosque.

The lawyer does not know where the money came from

During the hearing, questions were also raised about the funding for the construction. The board’s lawyer said that some funding for this was done by the middlemen. When asked whether the funding came in cash or cheque, the lawyer present could not answer it. He said that he would answer about it in the next hearing.

Local people demanded to be made a party

During the hearing on the illegal construction case in Sanjauli Mosque, a society of local people also submitted a 20-page written application to the court.

Through the application, a demand has been made to remove the illegal and unauthorized construction.

Former head of the mosque committee Mohammad Latif, who attended the hearing, said that he was the head of this committee till the year 2012. He said that during his tenure, this mosque was two and a half storeys. After this, outsiders started coming. These outsiders have done illegal construction here.

‘This is not a communal issue, but a case of illegal construction’

Advocate Jagat Pal, appearing for the local residents, said he was compelled to join the case as the matter was pending in the Municipal Commissioner’s court for the last 14 years and the Wakf Board was made a party only in 2023. He said it was not a communal issue but a case of illegal construction and the mosque should be demolished. The lawyer said the Wakf Board was unable to produce any proof of ownership and added that as per the records of the Revenue Department, the state is the owner of the land.
