However, under Section 54 of the Wakf Act, 1995, powers are conferred on the Chief Executive Officer of A.P.Wakf Board to take necessary action. The petitioner, therefore, is given liberty to approach the Chief Executive Officer for removal of the encroachment, if he has not already approached. As and when such a representation is made, Chief Executive Officer shall take necessary action in accordance with section 54 of Wakf Act. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 25.08.2006. pln
