File | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court has intervened in a long-running dispute over the validity of trustee elections for the Choti Masjid Trust in Buldhana district, after rival factions clashed over the interpretation of its governing scheme framed in 1989. The controversy arose when the Waqf Tribunal invalidated the 2019 election of trustees and set aside the Maharashtra State Waqf Board’s approval of their change report, prompting the elected trustees to seek relief from the High Court.
