Sugra Humayun Mirza Wakf (2010(3) KLT 862 (SC) and hold that the suit is not maintainable before the Wakf Tribunal. Hence, we set aside the judgment and decree under revision and dismiss the suit as withdrawn giving liberty to the plaintiff to file a fresh suit on the same cause of action. The time during which the suit was pending before the Wakf Tribunal and a further period of three weeks from today will be reckoned for the purpose of limitation as provided under Section 14 of the C. R. P. No.22 of 2009 -2- Indian Limitation Act. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE P. S. GOPINATHAN JUDGE kns/-
