Patna: Giving a big boost to Bihar State Shia Waqf Board, a civil court has directed the Board to take possession of properties worth over 2500 crores from the grab of land mafias on Tuesday.
The court has directed to return the properties to their legitimate owner Bihar State Shia Waqf Board.

‘No one can become the owner of a Waqf property ever, once a Waqf is always a Waqf, this law can never be overruled, but some people don’t understand this and try to occupy Waqf properties illegally. Unfortunately some top politicians and influential persons are also involved in grabbing Waqf land, but we will not allow anyone to occupy Waqf land or properties come whatever, told Irshad Ali the chairman of Bihar State Shia Waqf Board to Muslim Mirror.
