Legal proceedings to reclaim encroached Waqf property in the bustling Sadar Bazar area of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, have intensified following decisive action by authorities. Acting directly on directives issued by the Chhattisgarh State Waqf Tribunal, the State Waqf Board has formally affixed an eviction notice onto the disputed commercial site. The notice serves a strict ultimatum, granting the occupant a 45-day window to completely vacate the premises and restore physical possession to the designated Waqf organization.
Details of the Encroached Commercial Property
The real estate in question is officially registered under the ownership of Anjuman-e-Saifi Dawoodi Bohra Jamaat, Raipur. The dispute concerning unauthorized occupation was reviewed at length by the judicial bench of the Chhattisgarh State Waqf Tribunal. After examining the legal merits of the case, the tribunal issued a clear ruling directing the immediate clearance of the illegally occupied space, providing the foundation for the current enforcement drive by the Waqf Board.
The premises subject to the eviction order encompass multiple structural components spanning specific property numbers. This includes approximately 900 square feet of land registered under house numbers 923 and 924. Furthermore, the property complex incorporates a commercial shop along with an adjacent storage warehouse constructed on premises designated as house numbers 523 and 524. Under the terms of the posted notice, the occupant must surrender full control of both the land and structures before the expiration of the stipulated timeframe.
Statewide Crackdown on Illegal Encroachments
The enforcement action in Raipur comes amid widespread complaints regarding illegal occupation of Waqf properties worth crores of rupees across various districts of Chhattisgarh. Numerous parcels of land, retail storefronts, and residential buildings belonging to the Waqf have remained under unauthorized occupation for extended periods. Officials view the high-profile notice in Sadar Bazar as a strong deterrent against persistent encroachments across the state.
Representatives of the Waqf Board emphasized that all tribunal directives will be implemented with zero tolerance, and legal measures will proceed against individuals unlawfully occupying Waqf holdings. As the 45-day deadline counts down, attention remains focused on whether the occupant voluntarily vacates the property or if further administrative intervention will be required upon expiry of the notice.
