Mangaluru: Wakf Welfare Committee leader and human rights activist Haneef Saheb Pajaplla informed that the Wakf Board has issued a notice to 7 people asking them to attend for an inquiry on June 9. The Board’s move came after the complaint of Wakf Welfare Committee that has accused that a building has been constructed illegally on Wakf land.

Addressing media persons at a private hotel in the city on Wednesday, he said that 69 cents land located near Bandar’s Golikitte Bazaar with S.No 670/1 had been illegally bought by a Mutavalli of Bandar Kacchi Juma Masjid. Then he constructed a building illegally by spending crores of rupees. Based on the complaint filed in this regard, the state Wakf Board has issued a notice.

“The land was registered in the Wakf Board in 1968. So this is a Wakf property. No individual is allowed to misuse this property. But the Mutawalli is misusing this property. Also, the rooms around the mosque are given on less rent. He has made an illegal contract with the tenants and taking thousands of rupees as rent,” Haneef accused.

Advocate Navin G, Farooq, and others were present.
