Tomb Of Shah Jahan's Daughter-In-Law Declared As 'Protected Monument', Waqf Board Can't Claim Ownership By Notification: MP High Court

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that the tomb of Shah Jahan's daughter-in-law is a protected monument, as declared by the central government. The court stated that the Waqf Board's claim to ownership via a subsequent notification is invalid. The judgment emphasized that once a monument is officially protected under central legislation, its status cannot be altered by later notifications or claims. This ruling upholds the initial designation and protection status of the monument, ensuring its preservation as per existing laws.
