Dhar admn seals Imambada, hands it over to PWD
Mhow: Dhar district administration sealed an Imambada on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday after getting it vacated and later handed it over to Public Works Department (PWD). A heavy police force was deployed in the town to prevent any untoward incident while the Imambada was being vacated and sealed. The Imambada, operated from a section of PWD building in Hatwara area of the town, had been under the possession of Tajiya committee for decades. Hindu organisations had contested that it was a govt-owned building meant for running cultural activities and should be available for all communities. The Tajiya committee argued that permission was granted for storing Tajiyas (tableaux). The action was taken following a complaint filed at the Dhar SDM court. The SDM court had ordered for the vacation of the premises. Challenging the order, the Tajiya committee had filed an appeal in Commissioner's revenue court, which also maintained the SDM court's order on Tuesday. Dhar SP Manoj Kumar Singh told TOI, "On the orders of the SDM court, the portion was vacated and handed over to PWD. Looking at the issue, additional police force was deployed in the area as well as the whole town to ensure that nothing untoward takes place. As far as the situation in Dhar is concerned, it is peaceful and fully under control, and the force will remain there round the clock." Abdul Samad, Sadar (head) of Muslim community, said that he was unaware of the action but claimed that a petition in this regard was filed in the Supreme Court. "I'm waiting for the hearing on my petition, which is expected on August 22 or 23," he added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Prince of Arcot Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali urges CM Stalin to appoint Chief Kazi
The Prince of Arcot Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali, on Wednesday appealed to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to appoint a new Chief Kazi to the State government following the recent death of incumbent Mufti Salahuddin Mohammed Ayub. Highlighting the community's concern, Mr. Ali said the absence of a Chief Kazi for the past three months has caused considerable difficulties for the Muslim community. The role of the Chief Kazi is of vital importance, as it involves solemnising marriages, issuing fatwas and carrying out various responsibilities connected with Islamic Shariah. Traditionally, the position of Chief Kazi has been held within the same family since its inception and that Maulana Mohammed Akbar, son-in-law of the late Chief Kazi, had been trained and prepared in all aspects of Islamic Shariah, makes him well qualified to assume the role. Mr. Ali urged the Chief Minister to appoint Maulana Mohammed Akbar as the Chief Kazi of the State government at the earliest, in the interest of the community and the continuity of this important office.
