THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2167 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner states that when the necessity has arisen for appointment of Muthawalli for Sultania Mosque, steps were initiated in the year 2001 and the committee appointed by the Wakf Board recommended that the petitioner and one Mohd.Khaleel Ahmed be appointed as Muthawallies for the Mosque. It is stated that Khaleel Ahmed alone was appointed for a limited period and even that has expired. The petitioner submitted a representation, dated 02.02.2009, with a request to appoint him as Muthawalli or joint Muthawalli of the Mosque. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the Wakf Board. The matter in relation to the appointment of Muthawallies for the Mosque referred to above has already received consideration and not only a committee was appointed, but a report was submitted by the Enquiry Officer. Narrating various developments that have taken place ever since the report was submitted, the petitioner made a representation, dated 02.02.2009. More than one year has elapsed. There cannot be any justification for the respondents to keep the representation pending. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.1 to pass appropriate orders on the representation, dated 02.02.2009, submitted by the petitioner, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is also directed that in case it becomes necessary to issue notice to any one, such a formality shall be complied with before any final orders are passed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:05.02.2010 kdl
