HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13788 of 2007 Date: 31-07-2007. Between : Anjuman-e-Islamia, Narsaraopet, tep. by its President. …..Petitioner And Andhra Pradesh State Wakf Board, Hyderabad, rep. by its Chief Executive Officer & others. …..Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13788 of 2007 ORDER : A Committee was appointed to manage the affairs of Anjuman-e-Islamia at Narsaraopet, by the 1st respondent. Its term expired on 01.02.2007. This writ petition is filed on behalf of the erstwhile Committee, complaining that though it had made an application to extend its term, the 1st respondent has not taken any steps and that in the meanwhile, respondent Nos.2 to 4, who have no authority, are collecting rents from the tenants of the Wakf. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent. Notices were served upon 3rd and 4th respondents and the one sent to the 2nd respondent was returned with an endorsement that he was absent for seven days. Admittedly, the term of the Committee expired on 01.02.2007. Unless the 1st respondent extend the term, the said Committee does not have any right to administer the affairs of the Wakf. The representation made by the Committee seeking extension, needs to be considered by the 1st respondent, duly taking into account the claims made by other individuals or agencies. The matter needs to be given a quietus at the earliest point of time, to avoid uncertainity. So far as the allegation as to the collection of rents by respondent Nos.2 to 4 is concerned, the 1st respondent needs to bestow its attention. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 1st respondent to take necessary steps to appoint a Committee to administer the affairs of Anjuman-e-Islamia, Narsaraopet, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, duly taking into account the claims putforth by various agencies. It shall also see that the unauthorized agencies shall not collect rents from the tenants of Wakf properties. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J 31st July 2007 ajr
