The above Writ Appeal is directed against the order of the learned single Judge, dated 15.12.1998, made in W.P. No.17111 of 1998, in and by which, the learned Judge dismissed the Writ https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ Petition with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Waqf Tribunal to vindicate their grievance. 2. Heard learned counsel for the appellant as well as the respondents. 3. It is not in dispute that the relief prayed for by the petitioner/appellant is to be agitated only before the Waqf Tribunal. When such an effective remedy is available, we are of the view that the learned Judge is perfectly right in directing the petitioner to approach the Tribunal. Similar view has been expressed by a Division Bench of this Court in W.A. No.2344 of 2000, Judgment dated 31.01.2005. In view of the same, we do not find any ground for interference. Writ Appeal fails and the same is dismissed. No costs. However, as observed by the leaned single Judge, the appellant is free to move the Waqf Tribunal, if they so desire, to vindicate their grievance. 09.03.2006. JI.
