Leeds Magistrates' Court Sentencing Results

Mohammed Adam Azhar was the director of a building company hired to construct a rear extension at a Bradford property, with work beginning in January 2024. The extension was built over existing gas service pipework without it being relocated, and the boiler flue was not repositioned, exposing a homeowner and her two children to risks of gas leaks, fire, explosion and carbon monoxide poisoning. Bradford Council Building Control Inspectors had warned the company several times, and on 22 May 2024 an inspector found the boiler flue terminating inside the extension. The gas installation was found to be immediately dangerous and the supply was cut off. Azhar failed to demonstrate that construction phase plans had been prepared and later failed to provide relevant information to an HSE inspector. He pleaded guilty to offences under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

Ibrahim Iqbal, 36, of no fixed abode, caused damage to the multi-faith room in the Bexley Wing at St James's Hospital on November 29, 2025, by smashing a framed Islamic scripture and defacing multiple copies of the Quran with pages torn out, set alight, and used to block the sink and toilet. A further incident of criminal damage occurred on December 9, 2025, with items used to block the drains. He was detained by hospital security on December 10, 2025, after trying to access the room again, and identified via CCTV as the only person entering between checks.
