Petitioners Versus The Maharashtra State Wakf Board, Office at Aurangabad through Chief Executive Officer, Pan-Chakki, Aurangabad. Respondents Mr. P.R. Katneshwarkar, Advocate for petitioners Mr. S.B. Khan, Advocate holding for Mr. M.B.W. Khan, Advocate for respondent NO.1 Mr. S.S. Phatale, Advocate for respondent No.2. CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE M.T. JOSHI,JJ. DATE : 24th March, 2011. PER COURT : 1] Heard learned counsel for the parties. By this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs :- “By issuing writ of certiorari or any other writ, order or direction, this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to quash and set aside, the notice u/section 54 of the Wakf Act, issued by respondent NO.1 (produced at Exhibit-J) dated 08/02/2010, against the petitioners. By issuing writ of mandamus or any other writ, 2 order or direction, this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to direct the respondent No.1 to initiate proceeding under Section 51 and 52 of the Wakf Act against respondent No.2.” 2] In so far as the first prayer is concerned, it is a show cause notice which is impugned in the present writ petition. There is no dispute that the petitioners have already given reply to the notice on 12/8/2010. However, the show cause notice has not yet been decided by respondent No.1. In view thereof, we are not inclined to grant the prayer, as made in respect of the said notice. We observe that, respondent No.1 shall endeavour to decide the show cause notice, after following the due procedure and considering the petitioners' reply and if necessary, after hearing the petitioners, expeditiously. 3] In so far as second prayer is concerned, it is open to the petitioners to make appropriate representation/application to respondent No.1, for redressal of their grievance. With these observations writ petition is disposed of. [M.T. JOSHI,J] [D.B. BHOSALE,J.] grt/wp
