A Delhi court has deferred the decision in the Waqf Board corruption case involving Amanatullah, setting a new hearing date for November 28.
The Delhi court hearing on the high‑profile Waqf Board scam has been adjourned, with the judge ordering that the final decision on the accused, Amanatullah, be delivered on November 28. The postponement was announced during a brief session where the prosecution and defence presented their arguments on procedural matters.
The case stems from allegations of financial irregularities and misuse of assets within the Waqf Board, prompting a criminal investigation that led to Amanatullah's arrest earlier this year. Investigators allege that the accused facilitated the diversion of funds meant for charitable purposes, violating the board's fiduciary responsibilities.
Legal experts note that the deferral gives both sides additional time to file supplementary evidence and address pending legal questions. The court has warned that any further delays could result in stricter procedural sanctions. The next hearing on November 28 will determine whether Amanatullah faces trial or other legal consequences.
