THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/05/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. P.R.RAMAN & P.BHAVADASAN, JJ. -------------------------------------------------------- Writ Petition (C) No.13402 of 2009-U -------------------------------------------------------- Dated 25th May 2009 Judgment RAMAN, J. As per Ext.P2 judgment of this court, the Wakf board was directed to take up the matter and finalise the proceedings within a period of four months. The matter relates to the administration of the wakf, namely, Vadanappally Thekke Juma-ath Mahal and Vadanappaly Thekke Juma Masjid and its properties. As a matter of fact, the petitioners in the CRP, which led to Ext.P2 judgment had demanded an enquiry into the administration of the wakf by the Wakf board. It appears that while the matter was practically compromised, the 1st respondent in the CRP approached the Wakf tribunal under S.83(2) of the Wakf Act. The tribunal ultimately found that the matter requires reconsideration by the Wakf board.It is against that judgment, that the CRP was filed and this court agreed with the view taken by the tribunal. Therefore, until the matter is reconsidered by the WPC 13402/09 2 wakf board and fresh orders are passed, the administration of the wakf properties should be done. Neither party could come to this court, seeking any police protection. Though more than two years have elapsed, the wakf board has not passed any orders. It is open to the petitioner to work out his remedy in such a situation, unless the wakf board passes final orders within a period of three months from today. However, if there is any breach of peace in the area, the police shall interfere in the matter to maintain law and order. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
