THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.597 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner had approached the 1st respondent with a request to allot a place of 4x4 ft. in the 2nd respondent-Dargah for the purpose of establishing a counter to sell Laddus. Acting on the same, the 1st respondent initially passed an order on 26.12.008 allotting the place, on condition that the petitioner deposits a sum of Rs.10,000/-. Subsequently, a revised order is said to have been passed on 06.01.2009 by the 1st respondent enhancing the amount to Rs.70,000/- per annum. The petitioner states that when she approached the 2nd respondent, for depositing of the amount and allotment of place, the request was not acceded to. She seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Basically, it is for the individuals or Boards, who are entrusted with the management of wakfs, to grant leases or allot places for various secular or religious activities within the wakfs. The 1st respondent figures only at the stage of according approval for the decisions taken by the wakfs. In the instant case, the petitioner directly approached the 1st respondent, who initially passed an order allotting the place, on deposit of a sum of Rs.10,000/-, and within two weeks, revised the amount to Rs.70,000/-. Hardly there exists any basis for such decisions. At any rate, it is for the board of management of the 2nd respondent-wakf to take a decision as regards allotment of places. The record further discloses that the 1st respondent has only mooted the proposal on 06.01.2009 and it is yet to be approved by the Chairman of the A.P.Wakf Board. Under these circumstances, this court is not inclined to grant any relief to the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the 2nd respondent with necessary application. As and when the petitioner approaches, the 2nd respondent shall take appropriate steps in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 21.01.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.597 of 2009 Date: 21.01.2009 JSU
