Masjid Gareeb Shah, also referred to in legal disputes as Masjid Takia Babbar Shah, is one of two mosques currently facing eviction notices from Northern Railways in Delhi. The mosque, alongside Masjid Bachchu Shah (Bengali Market Mosque), has been part of the local heritage for centuries, with Masjid Takia Babbar Shah reportedly standing for nearly 400 years. In July 2023, the railway authorities issued unsigned and undated eviction notices, citing encroachment on railway property. The notices instructed the mosques to vacate the premises within 15 days, failing which the Railways would remove the structures. However, the Delhi Waqf Board, responsible for the mosques, challenged these notices, arguing that the properties were legally transferred to their predecessor organization in 1945 and have served as places of worship for decades. The Delhi High Court has since intervened, criticizing the unclear and unsigned nature of the notices. The court has paused any removal actions and asked the government to provide further clarification. The case is scheduled for further hearings, with the next one set for December 2, 2024. The mosques continue to be significant cultural and religious landmarks, and their fate is the subject of ongoing legal debate?.
