THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25659 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioners challenge the notification dated 14-08-2003 published by the A.P. State Wakf Board, the 2nd respondent herein, in exercise of power under Section 4(3) of the Wakf Act, 1995 (for short ‘the Act’). The notification was issued in respect of the land in Sy.Nos.108 and 110, admeasuring Ac.2.24 guntas of Amangal Village & Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District. The petitioners state that the 2nd respondent did not follow the procedure prescribed by law, and the notification was issued at a time, when the enquiry under the A.P (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1955 was in progress. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Mahaboobnagar, the 4th respondent herein, filed counter-affidavit. It is stated that the enquiry under the Act cannot be proceeded with, as long as the notification subsists, and it is for the petitioners to work out their remedies, vis-à-vis the notification dated 14-08-2003. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Revenue, and learned Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent. The impugned notification was issued in exercise of power under Section 4(3) of the Act. It is no doubt true that a detailed procedure is to be followed, in the form of survey and enquiry, before a notification under Section 4(3) is issued. However, there exists a presumption, in favour of the legality of all official acts and notifications. The petitioners are not able to point out any jurisdictional error. Even assuming that there are any defects, be it, as regards conducting survey and enquiry, the petitioners have to avail the remedy before the Wakf Tribunal, which is vested with the power, to pronounce upon the validity and legality of such notifications. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioners to work out their remedies before the A.P. Wakf Tribunal. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ Dt.02-03-2009. L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. KO
