No.141 of 2019 on the files of the Wakf Tribunal, Kozhikode and the respondents are the defendants therein. 2. The suit was filed for mandatory injunction directing respondent Nos.5 to 19 to give vacant possession of plaint schedule property and consequential injunction. 3. Before the Wakf Tribunal, the question of ``` CRP(WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2022 ``` -8- maintainability came up for consideration and considering the Wakf Act and Rules, the Tribunal held that the suit is not maintainable. Thereafter, the Wakf Tribunal, as per order dated 8.10.2021, returned the plaint for noncompliance of Order VII Rule 10 CPC. 4. It was contended that the dispute in the present case relates to a Wakf and the Wakf Tribunal can decide all disputes, questions or other matters relating to a Wakf or Wakf property. The question as to whether the suit property is a Wakf property or not, is also disputed. The honourable Apex Court in **Rashid Wali Beg v. Farid Pindari [2021(6) KLT 482 (SC)]** held that the words “any dispute, question or other matter relating to any waqf or waqf property”, used in the first limb of Section 85, provide a clear indication ``` CRP(WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2022 ``` that the Tribunal would have jurisdiction to adjudicate upon any dispute and answer any question relating to a waqf or waqf property, including the two questions mentioned in Sections 6(1) and 7(1). The words in the second limb of Section 85 namely, “other matter which is required by or under this Act to be determined by a Tribunal”, seek to cover matters which have no relevance to the two questions covered by Section 6(1) and 7(1). Hence, he prayed that the order passed by the Wakf Tribunal is bad in law and the same has to be set aside and direction to be issued to the Tribunal to accept the plaint. 5. On going through the impugned order, it is seen that the Tribunal has only returned the plaint for noncompliance of Order VII Rule 10 CPC. In view of the settled position of law regarding the maintainability of ``` CRP(WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2022 ``` -10- petition under Section 83 of the Wakf Act before the Wakf Tribunal, we are of the opinion that the petitioners can represent the plaint before the Wakf Tribunal after curing the defects, if any, within a period of three weeks from today. C.R.P. is disposed of with the above observations. **sd C.S.DIAS, JUDGE** **sd** **BASANT BALAJI, JUDGE** _dl/_ ``` CRP(WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2022 ``` -11- ## **`APPENDIX OF CRP(WAKF) 19/2022`** ``` PETITIONER ANNEXURES Annexure A1 ``` ``` A TRUE COPY OF THE JUDGMENT DATED 22-2- 2022 IN CRP (WAKF) NO 33 OF 2021) PASSED BY THE HON'BLE HIGH COURT OF KERALA ```
