Waqf Board Turmoil: CEO’s Dismissal May Trigger Leadership Shake-Up
Waqf Board | Hyderabad, August 5: In a development that has stirred both administrative and political circles, the Telangana High Court has reportedly issued an interim directive for the removal of Mohammed Asadullah from his position as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Telangana State Waqf Board.
The news has quickly gained traction across social media platforms, fueling intense public discourse.
While the official written order is still awaited, legal observers suggest that the court’s ruling, if upheld, may have far-reaching consequences beyond the CEO’s removal. The spotlight now shifts to the leadership structure of the Board itself.

Of particular relevance is the 2025 amendment to Waqf governance laws, which stipulates that the post of Waqf Board Chairman must be held exclusively by an elected member.
This provision raises serious questions about the legitimacy of the current chairman, if appointed rather than elected, and whether the court’s ruling could set a precedent that necessitates broader structural compliance.
As stakeholders await the detailed court order, a sense of uncertainty looms over the future composition and functioning of the Telangana Waqf Board.
