The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued notice on a plea filed by Delhi Waqf Board aggrieved by the action of the Centre to delist 123 properties, purportedly belonging to it. Justice Yashwant Varma however refused to grant any stay in connection of transfer of one of the 123 waqf properties, i.e., Qabristan Qadeem by the Centre in favour of Indo Tibetan Border Police.

While keeping the matter under consideration before One Member Committee and thereafter recently appointed Two Members' Committee, the Union of India has transferred one of those 123 waqf properties, i.e., Qabristan Qadeem, Khasra no.
