He claims to have made a representation on 12-11-2004, for extension of his term. He complains that no orders have been passed so far, by the respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. S.M. Subhani, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The respondent is conferred with the power to constitute the Managing Committees and to appoint members thereof. The petitioner has been appointed as a member of the Wakf, referred to above, for a period of one year. The petitioner has already made a representation for extension of his term, much before it expired. The question as to whether the petitioner deserves to be continued as member, and whether such a continuance would be in the interests of the Wakf, needs to be considered by the respondent. However, a decision in this regard needs to be taken, before the existing term of the petitioner expires. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to pass appropriate orders expeditiously, and not later than six months from today. It is further directed that, in case there are no allegations of misappropriation and mismanagement against the petitioner, he shall be continued as member, until the respondent passes an appropriate order, or a new committee is constituted, whichever is earlier. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.08-12-2004 KO To 1.
