Delhi High Court Seeks Jamia’s Clarification Over Dispute On Sale Of Land

The Delhi High Court has sought clarification from Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) on the issue of allegation that it has retrospectively issued a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for selling its valuable land to a third party, thereby waiving the charges imposed on the sale of land so that the court stay can be neutralized.

Nazim Hussain Al Jafri, who was the registrar of the university, has alleged that despite his refusal to issue NOC, JMI approved the sale of land over which it was entitled. At that time, Jafri was also the Secretary of the Executive Council (EC) that decides on this issue, whose members include three representatives of the President and the Visitor of JMI.

Jafri has filed an affidavit saying that immediately after the EC meeting on August 4 last year, the then Vice Chancellor asked him to issue NOC in favor of a third party. He refused to do so, because many objections had come regarding it.

Jafri said that on August 23, the Vice Chancellor angrily told him to immediately issue the backdated NOC as the hearing was to be held in the High Court the next day. When the court stayed the proposed sale in the very first hearing, the buyer approached a two-judge bench and JMI submitted the NOC there.

Also claimed that it has already been released. Citing this, Jafri said that when the EC has not taken any decision on this issue, this NOC has been illegally backdated by the JMI administration.

Advocate appearing for the visitor said that at that time there was opposition to the grant of NOC to a third person named Zakia Zaheer on the grounds that it was against the interests of JMI. The court is hearing the petition of Harisul Haq, a physical education teacher of Jamia Middle School, challenging the sale of the land. He has said that an attempt has been made to issue NOC for the sale of land without completing the proper legal process.
