Oontwadi graveyard is located at Jummerat bazaar. It is called Qabristan Chudi bazaar. Miscreants have transformed the graveyard into stable and grazing land where camels and horses are fastened in the middle. At one corner lies the pile of camel and horse dung and the carts are placed at another.
Some youth raised voice against this desecration of graveyard and complained to waqf board but since the waqf board doesn’t have powers to take action it constrained itself only to police complaint. Seeing the laxness of waqf board, president Deccan Waqf Properties Protection Society Mr. Osman bin Mohammed Alhajari filed a writ petition in High Court requesting it to intervene into the matter and prevent the respective departments from desecration of graveyard.
The court ordered the waqf board to redeem the graveyard from encroachment. Justice CV Nagarjuna proclaimed that if the waqf board fails to take action against the occupation of graveyard land then the petitioner can return to the court.
