1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1007 OF 2010 Sana Yusuf Baugwala .. Petitioner Versus Maharashtra State Wakf Board & Ors. .. Respondents Mr.S.M.Gorwadkar with Rohit Pawaskar for petitioner Mr.G.W.Mattos, AGP for Respondent Nos. 11 and 12 CORAM : MOHIT SHAH,C.J. & S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. Date : 29th June 2010. P.C. 1] In view of the alternate remedy available to the petitioner under Section 83 of the Wakf Act, 1995, we are not inclined to entertain this petition. Section 83 provides that a Tribunal constituted by the State Government, as it may think fit, shall determine all or any dispute relating to Wakf or Wakf property under the said Act. Hence, the controversy raised in this petition will certainly fall within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal so constituted. 2 2] As regards prayer (f) of the petition, petitioner’s representation dated 1st July 2008 shall be considered and decided by the High Powered Committee as already directed by the order of this Court dated 31st January 2008, passed in W.P.No.1840 of 2007 (Annexure A). This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and preferably within three months from the date of receipt of this order. 3] The learned Counsel for petitioner states that the petitioner will approach the Tribunal under section 83 of the Act, without prejudice to the rights and contentions of petitioner on the question as to whether respondent No.5 is Wakf under the Wakf Board Act, 1995 or a Trust covered by the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. (CHIEF JUSTICE) (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J)
