THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.28826 of 2010 DT.22.11.2010 Between: Syed Riyazuddin … Petitioner And The District Collector, Nalgonda District, at Nalgonda and others. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri M.T.Ghori Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3: AGP for Revenue Counsel for respondent No.4 : Sri Mir Masood Khan The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: The petitioner, who claims to be a lessee from Muthavalli of a Mosque, filed this writ petition assailing the action of respondent Nos.1 to 3 in general, and respondent No.1 in particular, in seeking to evict him from the property in his occupation, without following due process of law. In my opinion, in the very nature of the dispute raised by the petitioner, the same is comprehended by the Wakf Act, 1995 (for short ‘the Act’). If the petitioner feels aggrieved by the proposed action to evict him by the functionaries of the State, he has adequate remedies under the provisions of the Act, under which, he is entitled to invoke the jurisdiction of the Wakf Tribunal. Ordinarily, when an alternative remedy is available, this Court does not entertain a writ petition filed bypassing such alternative remedy. The petitioner failed to make out any ground to treat this case as an exception to this general rule. In view of the same, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy in order to question the impugned action of the respondents. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that in order to enable his client to approach the Wakf Tribunal, his interests may be protected till the appropriate remedy is availed. Having regard to this submission, the parties are directed to maintain status quo obtaining as on today with respect to possession of the property in question, for a period of two weeks. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.36758 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
