THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6665 of 2009 ORDER: The A.P.State Wakf Board, the respondent herein, appointed a managing committee for the Wakf Institution, by name Qutub Shahi Mosque, Idgah & Graveyard, Saroornagar Village and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, through order, dated 07.12.2006. The term of the committee was one year. It is represented that the President and two Members of the said committee have since passed away. The petitioner was in the managing committee on a previous occasion. His grievance is that there is no committee for the institution for the past one and half years and the management is suffering. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. Recognizing its obligation to appoint a managing committee, the respondent had passed orders, dated 07.12.2006, appointing a managing committee. Steps ought to have been taken much before, or at least immediately after the expiry of the term of the committee. The necessity to constitute a committee has arisen on account of a further development viz: death of the President and two Members of the said committee. It is in the interest of the Wakf and the community at large that a proper and regular managing committee is appointed. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to take necessary steps to constitute a managing committee for Qutub Shahi Mosque, Idgah & Graveyard, Saroornagar Village and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:31.03.2009 Note: Issue cc in three days. (B/o) kdl
