MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.A.NO. 842 OF 2001 ORDER: (Per Smt. T. Meena Kumari, J) This writ appeal is directed against the order dated 24.4.2001 passed by a learned single Judge of this Court in WP No. 1333 of 2000. The writ petition was ﬁled questioning the action of the 1st respondent in taking possession from the petitioner of a room in the premises of Jama Masjid, Mouzampuram, Mallepalli, Hyderabad. The learned counsel for the appellant has argued that by virtue of the “AL – ISTIFTA”, dated 18 th Safar- ul-Muzaﬀar, 1422 Hijri/12 th May, 2001 A.D. the Masjid had granted permission to the appellant for staying in a room in the masjid premises. Subsequently as the appellant became old, the masjid was asking him to vacate the premises, the writ petition was ﬁled. The learned single Judge has observed that as the writ petitioner has availed the remedy of appeal, the writ petition was not maintainable. The learned counsel appearing for the 1st respondent-masjid managing committee, on instructions, submits that the appellant is a paralytic patient who is staying with his family members and he is not even coming to the mosque. In these circumstances, we are not inclined to go into the merits of the case. However, we direct the appellate authority to dispose of the appeal ﬁled by the appellant within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ appeal is disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ T.
