JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA Present: Mr. Atul Gaur,Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Sandeep Punchhi, Advocate for the respondent. RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral). The petitioner prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 19.01.2010, passed by the Wakf Tribunal, Rewari. The Haryana Wakf Board, Ambala Cantt, filed a suit for ejectment and recovery of Rs.11,300 before the Additional District Judge/Wakf Tribunal, Rewari on the ground that the tenancy of the petitioner has been terminated. The defendant/petitioner opposed the prayer in the suit by denying the averments in the plaint. On the basis of the pleadings and the evidence adduced, the Wakf Tribunal ordered the ejectment of the defendant/petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of a judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No.1182 of 2006 RameshGobindram (dead) through Lrs. v. Sugra Humayun Civil Writ Petition No. 2633 of 2010 -2- Wakf, the suit for ejectment/possession/recovery of rent cannot be entertained by the Wakf Tribunal. Counsel for the Wakf Board does not deny the correctness of these assertions. In view of Judgement in Ramesh Gobindram (dead) through Lrs. v. Sugra Humayun Wakf(supra), the writ petition is allowed, the order dated 19.01.2010 is set aside. The Wakf Tribunal shall return the plaint to the Wakf Board for presentation before an appropriate forum, in accordance with law, without prejudice to the rights of the parties.
