Heard Sri M.T.Ghori, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri Abdul Najeeb Khan, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The only grievance of the petitioner, who claims to have succeeded to his deceased father by name Gulam Gareeb Nawaz Khan as Mutawalli of the above mentioned wakf, is that though he had been making representations to recognize him as Mutawalli of the wakf, the respondent has not been considering the same. The petitioner claimed that the last of the representations made by him was on 05-06-2006. As the petitioner has sought for an innocuous relief in this writ petition, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondent to consider and dispose of the application said to have been ﬁled by the petitioner on 05-06- 2006, in accordance with the provisions of the Wakf Act, 1995, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.25290 of 2008 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 6th September, 2008 vrn
