ABDUL JABAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 1311 OF 2008 F = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 10th January, 2008 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext. P3, an order finding that the Wakf Board has jurisdiction to decide the issue raised in O.P. No. 58 of 2003. This order is clearly appealable in terms of Section 83(2) of the Wakf Act. I see no justification to bypass a statutory remedy that is available. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
