He filed this writ petition seeking to declare the action of the 1st Respondent in not conducting elections for the 6 members of the Committee of the said Dargah and further action of the 1st Respondent in taking steps to nominate all the 11 members of the managing committee of the said Wakf without issuing notification and inviting the applications as arbitrary, illegal without jurisdiction and in violation of principles of natural justice and consequently to direct the 1st respondent to conduct elections for the 6 members of the managing committee of the Dargah. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned standing counsel for the Wakf Board. Though the petitioner stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the respondents are going to nominate the persons without conducting elections, as on today, there is no such nomination and the apprehension of the petitioner is premature and there is no material except the resolution to substantiate the same. It is also stated that the petitioner has already made a representation to the respondents to consider the request of conducting elections. If any such representation is pending with the respondents, the same shall be considered and disposed of in accordance with law. Insofar as the nominations are concerned, till today there is no such order. Therefore, I see no reason to entertain the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed.
