CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 15th July 2011. P.C.: . By this writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the caw617-720.doc 2 Constitution of India, the petitioners are challenging the order dated 2nd April 2007, a copy of which is a annexure to this writ petition. That is an order made by the Minister of Revenue, State of Maharashtra in proceedings arising out of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands act, 1948 and particularly whether the exemption granted under section 88-B thereof should be cancelled or not. 2 The petitioners have filed this writ petition on the basis that they are trustees of a Trust. 3 The present civil applications have been filed for a direction either to direct the petitioners to add the applicants as party to the writ petition or to permit the applicants to intervene at the hearing of this writ petition. 4 From a perusal of the civil applications and statements therein, it is clear that what the applicants project is, a dispute between them and the petitioners. They are making caw617-720.doc 3 certain allegations with regard to disposal of a property and further trying to change the nature of the institution from Wakf to Trust. I am afraid that in the present proceedings, all these issues cannot be decided. It is only the legality and correctness of the order impugned in the writ petition, which will be gone into. In such circumstances, the applicants cannot be permitted to intervene or a direction as sought cannot be issued to implead them as parties. The Court is not concerned with the inter-se disputes. In such circumstances, the applications are dismissed. However, it is clarified that dismissal of these applications will not prevent the applicants from filing appropriate proceedings and seeking such reliefs as are permissible in law. All contentions of all the parties in that behalf are kept open. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J)
