IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No.4061 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision:01.11.2010 Jagdish Rai Sharma and another ...Petitioners Versus Punjab Wakf Board ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Ravish Bansal, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Akshay Jain, Advocate, for the respondent. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order of the Additional District Judge, Faridkot exercising the powers of Wakf Tribunal [for short “Tribunal”] dated 22.04.2008 by which suit filed by the respondent for possession by way of ejectment of the petitioners has been decreed. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the Tribunal does not have the jurisdiction to decide the lis between the parties in view of a decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Ramesh Gobindram (deceased by LRs.) Vs. Sugra Humayun Mirza Wakf, AIR 2010 Supreme Court 2897, in which it has been held that “a suit seeking eviction of the tenants from what is admittedly wakf property could, therefore, be filed only before the Civil Court and not before the Tribunal”. In view thereof, the present revision petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside. November 01, 2010 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
