8THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.2431 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner submitted a representation on 25-07-2006 to the respondent with a request to recognize the Towliath in respect of a Wakf, by name, Masjid-e-Shamsi Chilla Garib Nawaz, Barkathpura, Hyderabad. He has traced the origin of the Wakf, and submitted that he is entitled to be appointed as Muthawalli. His grievance is that no action has been taken for the past four years. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The petitioner states that his father Ehateshamuddin, was the Muthawalli of the Wakf, and that after his death, in the year 2006, he has succeeded as Muthawalli. It is also stated that he is functioning as such, but wanted the recognition thereof, by the respondent. The Wakf Act and the Rules made thereunder prescribes the procedure to be followed for appointment of Muthawallies, wherever Wakfs are administered, through Muthawallies. Whenever the claim is by way of succession, the effected parties are required to be issued notices. The application submitted by the petitioner for recognition of his rights is pending for the past four years. It cannot be kept pending further. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to take necessary action on the representation made by the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.08-02-2010. KO
