Madhya Pradesh High Court Stays Demolition Order Against Al-Falah University Chancellor's Ancestral Home

Nov 22, 2025 08:45 pm CST

The Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has temporarily halted demolition proceedings against the ancestral home of Al-Falah University Chancellor Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, who was recently arrested in connection with a Delhi blast investigation. The court ruled that current resident Abdul Majid must be given a proper hearing opportunity before any action can be taken, noting that previous notices were issued nearly 30 years ago. This legal development comes just days after Siddiqui's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate on November 18.
