Why not? As per West Bengal heritage commission act, any structure with historical, architectural, environmental or cultural importance can be granted with heritage status.

In Kolkata the Heritage Conservation Committee, headed by the Municipal Commissioner of Kolkata Municipal Corporation, has already taken initiative in this regard and thus 163 buildings in Kolkata has been declared as Heritage Buildings, and documentation of around 200 buildings have been done out of identified buildings (1348) by the Expert Committee. Kolkata Municipal Corporation has already taken steps for restoration / renovation of different Heritage Buildings like the Town Hall, Prinsep Ghat, Metropolitan Building, Metcalfe Hall, Star Theatre, Vidyasagar House, Queens Mansion, Vivekananda House, Minerva Theatre etc.

Apart from the above efforts have been initiated by KMDA to conserve the heritage buildings in the Urban Local Bodies in KMA Area. In this effort 73 number of buildings in 14 Urban Local Bodies have been identified, and work for preservation of some buildings has already been taken up.

70 years building are never heritage. Many structures that include houses in a city are more than 50 years

Under the provisions of Section 2 (42A) of the K.M.C. Act 1980 the definition of heritage building has been given. The definition runs thus "heritage building means any building of one or more premises, or any part thereof, which requires preservation and conservation for historical, architectural, environmental or ecological purpose and includes such portion of the land adjoining such building or any part thereof as may be required for fencing or covering or otherwise preserving such building and also includes the areas and buildings requiring preservation and conservation for the purpose as aforesaid under sub-clause (ii) of clause (a) of subsection (4) of the section 31 of the West Bengal Town and Country (Planning and Development) Act, 1979 (West Beng. Act XIII of 1979)".

I know and how does the law prevents from granting the mosque a heritage status? Kindly go through the heritage site list. There are plenty of occasions where sites merely 50/60 years old has been given the privilege. If the state feels a site needs conservation its free to grant it.

Does this masjid comes under Grade 1 ?

No external change will be permissible. Use of the building should also be compatible with the category of the heritage building.

Intach convenor G M Kapur, however, points out that no matter what the compulsions, a Grade-I heritage structure cannot be altered, let alone demolished. A section of locals, too, feel strongly about the only heritage structure in the area to be pulled down. "The mosque was in excellent shape and would have survived another 200 years without major repairs," says Akibur Rehman, who has written to the Directorate of Archeology and Museums, KMC project management unit in charge of heritage structures, the Wakf Board and Karaya police station.
