1 CRA (st) No.38674 of 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD Civil Revision Application (St) No.38674 of 2010 Sikandar Khan s/o Nabi Khan Pathan and others Applicants VERSUS The Maharashtra State Wakf Board and others Respondents Mr. H.I. Pathan, Advocate for the applicants Mr. P.S. Agrawal, Advocate for the respondents No. 2 to 7 CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 6th January, 2011 PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. This revision application is filed against the Judgment and order passed by the Presiding Officer, Maharashtra Wakf Tribunal, Aurangabad, dated 15th December, 2010. 3. The applicants formed the Managing Committee of a Wakf at Hingoli. The impugned order dismissed this Managing Committee and directed the Wakf Board to immediately appoint a temporary Mutwalli for management of the Wakf. The grievance of the applicants is that this order was passed behind their back and they were not heard. 4. Pursuant to the order I am told across the bar, the Wakf Board immediately took steps and appointed a temporary Mutwalli, who has already taken charge of Wakf. Admittedly, the tenure of the applicants Managing Committee would expire on 31st May, 2011. Thereafter, the Wakf Board would take steps to appoint a new Committee. The applicants, if found eligible to be appointed as members of the 2 CRA (st) No.38674 of 2010 Managing Committee, stand a fair chance to get appointed as members of Managing Committee in near future. The members of the Managing Committee are taken from the residents of the locality in which the Wakf is situated. Admittedly, the applicants are residents of the said area. The applicants have no grievance against the Chief Executive Officer of the Wakf Board, who has discretion to select the members of the Managing Committee. Having regard to the short tenure left, it would be futile to continue this litigation. It would be better if the Court directs the Chief Executive Officer of the Wakf Board to re-constitute the Managing Committee as soon as possible so that the applicants would get an opportunity to contest for the places in the Managing Committee. While selecting the members of the Managing Committee, the Chief Executive Officer of the Wakf Board shall ignore the adverse observations made by the Presiding Officer, Maharashtra Wakf Tribunal, Aurangabad against the applicants in his order dated 15th December, 2010. The Civil Revision Application thus stands disposed of. ( A.V. NIRGUDE, J. ) SRM/cra(st)/38674/10/6/1/11
