Madhya Pradesh HC Overturns Waqf Board's Claim on Burhanpur Monuments, Including Shah Shuja's Tomb
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has overturned the Madhya Pradesh Waqf Board's claim over several historic monuments in the Burhanpur district. The court set aside the Waqf Board's order that asserted ownership of significant sites, including the tombs of Shah Shuja and Nadir Shah. The bench, led by Justice GS Ahluwalia, noted that these properties had been officially recognized as ancient monuments as early as 1913 and 1925. The court emphasized that these monuments belong to the Centre and not to the Waqf Board, highlighting the illegality committed by the Waqf Board in its claim.
