Masjid Husaini situated at Road number 2 Banjara Hills got Rs. 2.18 crore as compensation for a piece of land admeasuring 333 Sq. yards which is proposed to be acquired by GHMC for road widening. GHMC was claiming its ownership for the past 40 years. The Mutawalli (custodian) of the Masjid fought the legal matter and made GHMC bow down to his terms and condition. The land was given to GHMC at the rate of Rs. 84, 500 per Sq.yard.
It may be noted a detailed report was published in Siasat Urdu Daily on 14th May 2013 in which it was mentioned that GHMC is making attempts to acquire a piece of land belonging to Husaini masjid for road widening purposes. GHMC was demanding 750 Sq. Yards but later they agreed to get 333 Sq. Yards. It is hoped that with the compensation amount received from GHMC, the mosque will construct double storey and make it Air Conditioned.
