JUDGMENT Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J, The petitioner claims that it has an order of the Wakf Board in its favour, atleast in so far as one among the clauses in Ext.P4 is concerned. Whatever be the controversy between respondent No.6 and the petitioner, we are clear in our mind that such disputes cannot be resolved here under the guise of an allegation that a police officer is harassing the petitioner at the instance of the sixth respondent. 2. Learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that the police have registered proceedings under Section 107 of the Criminal Procedure Code, in which the petitioner and the sixth respondent are involved. It is clarified that decisions of the Wakf Board are statutory in nature and such decisions have to be respected by the parties and the officials while deciding any law and order WPC.29442/10. 2 situation. No further directions are called for in this writ petition. The writ petition is hence disposed of directing that the police will ensure that law and order is properly maintained and no action follows in violation of the law. Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, Judge P. Bhavadasan, Judge sb.
