Present OP(Wakf) is directed against the order dated 4.7.2024 passed in I.A No.451 of 2024 in W.O.S No.31 of 2024 preferred by the 1[st] respondent, one of the members of Thevalakkara Shereeful Islam Jama-ath whereby in a pending W.O.S seeking the following reliefs, while disposing of the interim application, an interim Muthavally has been appointed. A. To direct the 13th defendant - Returning Officer to convene an urgent meeting of the 70 member Council of the 1st defendant who were elected in the election held on 11.05.2024 and conduct a secret ballot election to elect Council Chairman, Council Secretary and four members of the governing body as per Chapters 4,5,6 and 7 of the byelaw of the 1st defendant, failing which an Advocate Commissioner be appointed by this Hon'ble Court to conduct such election. B. Issue a permanent prohibitory injunction prohibiting defendants 2, 4 to 12 to act as the new Council Officers or Governing Body Officers and undertake such duties or take any decisions until the Council of the 1st defendant elects the office bearers and Members of the Governing Body. C. Direct the Council Officers or Governing Body Officers prior to 11.05.2024 of the 1st defendant to conduct the day to day affairs until the Council is convened and new members of the Council and the Governing Body is elected; D. Grant such other reliefs as may be prayed by the plaintiff during the pendency of this litigation as this Court may deem fit. 2. Succinctly, the facts in brief are as under: The aforementioned jama-ath has its own bye-laws. Chapter 2 of the same defines the Administration viz-a-viz General body, Ordinary **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **5** general body meeting, Extra ordinary general body meeting and Annual general body meeting. Chapter 3 defines the members of the jama-ath much less their powers. On the basis of aforementioned provisions of the bye-laws, election of the jama-ath was held on 11.5.2024 and 70 members were elected. The decision to hold election is provided in the AGM. As per clause IV of Chapter 2 of bye-law, 101 Jama-ath members are required for the purpose of holding election. 3. The dispute arises with regard to holding of the meeting in respect of election/appointment of the Chairman and the Secretary either on 15[th] or 17[th] May 2024. As per the contention of the respondent-original plaintiff before the civil court, it was held on 17[th] May whereas as per the petitioner, on 15[th] May. As per clause IV of Chapter 3, the elected members can appoint Chairman and Secretary without any provision for quorum. The subsequent meetings too envisage a quorum of minimum 40 persons for day to day functioning of the jama-ath. 4. One of the members, respondent-plaintiff aggrieved of the action of elected body, filed a suit and also submitted an interim application with the following reliefs: A. Issue a temporary injunction prohibiting defendants 2, 4 to 12 to act as the new Council Officers or Governing Body Officers and undertake such duties or take any **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **6** decisions until the Council of the 1 defendant elects the office bearers and Members of the Governing Body and to issue an ad interim injunction till the disposal of the suit; B. Issue a temporary injunction prohibiting defendants 2, 4 to 12 or the 3rd defendant in dispossessing the plaintiff being the present Council Secretary and to issue an ad interim injunction in this regard till the disposal of the suit; C. Issue a interim direction to permit the Council Officers or Governing Body Officers prior to 11.05.2024 of the 1 defendant to conduct the day to day affairs until the Council is convened and new members of the Council and the Governing Body is elected and to issue an ad interim injunction in this regard till the disposal of the suit. 5. The objections were filed by the elected body. However, the learned Tribunal vide impugned order, considering, the quorum was not complete for the purpose of election as there was a dichotomous opinion with regard to formation of the members, as an interim measure appointed an interim Muthavally. The said order is under challenge. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioners in support of the present petition raised the following submissions: 6.1 Clause IV to the Chapter 2 of the bye-law does not envisage any specific quorum for the purpose of appointment of the Chairman and the Secretary. 6.2 Respondent-plaintiff before the Tribunal has not challenged **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **7** the holding of the AGM wherein it was decided to hold election on 11.5.2024. Of course, the subsequent meetings of the elected members is required to have a minimum quorum but with a caveat that, in case, for two consecutive meetings the quorum is not complete, third meeting can be held with less number of members without adhering to the quorum provided in the bye-laws. 6.3 The interim relief so granted tantamount to allowing the main case which is totally against the settled law. 6.4 The Tribunal should have called upon the parties to lead evidence and decide the matter on merits instead of laying focus on the interim application. 7. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent raised the objection qua maintainability of the OP(WAKF) by referring to the proviso to sub section 9 of Section 83 of the Wakf Act, 1995 wherein equal and efficacious remedy by way of revision petition has been provided to assail the order of Tribunal. In other words, submitted that, in the OP(WAKF) preferred under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the court is refrained from exercising supervisory powers, therefore the present petition should be dismissed. In support of the contentions, relied upon the Division Bench judgment of this Court in Muhammed Ashraf K v. Islamic Preaching Trust & Ors (2018 (2) KHC 150) . It is further contended **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **8** that all the proceedings of the committee members are nullified due to the absence of quorum. The elected members have not been able to pull on together with the 70 members elected in the election held on 11.5.2024 and in view of such dichotomy, alternative arrangements as has been done vide impugned order is fair and justified. It will prevent from taking any decision against the interest of the jama-ath. 8. In rebuttal, learned counsel for the petitioners cited the judgment of the Supreme Court in Surya Dev Rai vs Ram Chander Rai & Ors (2003 (6) SCC 675); reiterated in Radhey Shyam and Anr. v. Chhabi Nath and Orsl. (AIR 2015 SC 3269) to contend that the High Court is not denuded from exercising the supervisory powers against the orders of the Tribunal while exercising the powers under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 9. Learned counsel for the Wakf Board adopts the similar arguments as of the learned counsel for the petitioners. 10. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and appraised the paper book. Proviso to sub Section 9 of Section 83 of the Wakf Act reads as under: 83(9) No appeal shall lie against any decision or order whether interim or otherwise, given or made by the Tribunal: Provided that a High Court may, on its own motion or on the application of the Board or any person aggrieved, call for and examine the records relating to any dispute, question or other **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **9** matter which has been determined by the Tribunal for the purpose of satisfying itself as to the correctness, legality or propriety of such determination and may confirm, reverse or modify such determination or pass such other order as it may think fit. 11. On perusal of the same, it is evident that no doubt, there is an alternative efficacious remedy provided for aggrieved party to assail the order of Tribunal in the High Court. Similar ratio has been culled out in the judgment cited on behalf of the learned counsel for the respondent. Paragraph 8 to 10 of the judgment Muhammed Ashraf K (supra) reads thus: 8. On a reading of the proviso to Sec.83(9) of the Waqf Act, it is seen that the High Court is given the power, on the application of the aggrieved party, to call for and examine the record relating to 'any dispute', question or other matter which has been determined by the tribunal for the purpose of satisfying itself as to the correctness, legality or propriety of such determination. The expressions 'dispute' and 'determination' are not specifically defined in the Act . Therefore, general meaning provided in the dictionary can be taken for considering the scope and extent of the said expressions. In legal parlance, a dispute arises when one party asserts a thing or a matter and the other party denies it. According to the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, 'dispute(n)' means disagreement and 'determination' means and includes the process of deciding something officially. It is pertinent to note that the expression 'any' is seen specifically prefixed before the expression 'dispute' so as to enlarge the extent of 'dispute'. Therefore, we are of the opinion that in a suit filed under the Waqf Act, before the tribunal, any decision taken by the tribunal on any dispute in that suit would be a determination falling under the revisional jurisdiction provided under the proviso to Sec.83 (9) of the Waqf Act. The above interpretation enlarging the scope and extent of revisional jurisdiction of this court is supported by the amendment brought by way of substitution, to Sec.83 of the Act, by Act 27 of 2013. Before the said substitution, the jurisdiction of the Tribunal was confined to determination of any dispute, question or other matter **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **10** relating to a Waqf or Waqf property under the Act only. Now by the said amendment by substitution the jurisdiction of the Tribunal stands extended to determination of any dispute, question or other matter relating to eviction of a tenant or determination of rights and obligations of the lessor and lessee of such property under the Act also. Therefore it cannot be held that revisional jurisdiction of this court under the proviso to Sec.83 (9) is confined to examination of records relating to any dispute or question on Waqf or Waqf property only. Therefore, any order passed by the Tribunal on any application filed by one party and objected by the other party can be challenged in revision provided under the proviso to Sec.83 (9) of the Waqf Act, before the High Court. We find that there is a determination on dispute in the order passed on an application filed under Order VI rule 17 of CPC and thereby such orders would fall under the proviso to Sec.83 (9) of the Waqf Act and revision is the proper remedy to challenge the said order. 9. The next question to be considered is, can the High Court interfere with the orders passed by the Courts and Tribunals inferior to it invoking supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, where a specific alternative statutory mode of redressal has been provided under the special enactment. We find that the answer to the above question is given by the apex court in (2010) 8 SCC 329 (Shalini Shyam Shetty vs Rajendra Shankar Patil). In this decision itself the Supreme Court has considered the scope and extent of supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India and certain principles are formulated and enumerated as (a) to (n) in the said decision. Clause (c) of the said principles reads as follows: (c) High Courts cannot, at the drop of a hat, in exercise of its power of superintendence under Article 227 of the Constitution, interfere with the orders of tribunals or courts inferior to it. Nor can it, in exercise of this power, act as a court of appeal over the orders of the court or tribunal subordinate to it. In cases where an alternative statutory mode of redressal has been provided, that would also operate as a restrain on the exercise of this power by the High Court. 10. Further, in AIR 1977 SC 1703 (K.K.Shrivastava etc vs Bhupendra Kumar Jain & Ors) the apex court held that 'Where there is an appropriate or equally efficacious remedy the Court should keep its hands off'. Therefore in view of the legal position well settled by the apex court we find that **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **11** when a specific alternative mode of redressal is provided to challenge an order passed on an application filed under Order 6 rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, this Court is not inclined to exercise supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India to examine the legality or correctness of that order, under law. Therefore we dismiss the original petition with a liberty to file revision in accordance with law if the petitioner so desires. 12. We beg to differ with the findings of the Division Bench by treating it to be per incuriam for the simple reason that the aforementioned judgment has not taken into consideration, the landmark judgment of the Supreme Court in Surya Dev Rai (supra) which is affirmed in Radhey Shyam (supra). In both the aforementioned judgments, Supreme Court had an occasion to ponder and decide the powers of the High Court of superintendence (supervisory powers) under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 13. Considering the aforementioned ratio, we are of the view that the objection qua maintainability does not merit acceptance and hereby rejected. 14. As far as merit of the case is concerned, the relief as claimed in the main petition and the interim application leaves no manner of doubt that, if the impugned order is permitted to sustain, in our considered view, result into miscarriage of justice and irreparable loss much less travesty of justice. It is settled law that in case the interim relief sought for tantamount to granting the main relief, the court should circumspect in passing such orders. **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **12** 15. Concededly, in the AGM the election was decided to be held on 11.5.2024. Clause IV of Chapter 2 pertaining to AGM reads as under: IV. Annual General Body meeting. Annual General Body meeting should be convened in the last week of December every year. Printed notice should be circulated in the mosque showing the place of meeting, time and agenda before one week After Juma prayers on Friday). In the said meeting the annual report of the committees, statement of accounts and budget for the next year (only approved by the JamaAth council) should be presented by the Secretary of the respective committee and should subject to discussion and approval in the general body. If there necessitate a voting the members of G the respective committees will not have voting right. Members who have defaulted the annual subscription amount will also not have the voting right. In this meeting apart from the agenda the resolution as provided by law permitted by the Chairman and other urgent matters shall be discussed and decision taken. In the unofficial resolutions there should be the membership and full address of the presenter and seconder. The right to elect the members to the JamaAth Council is vested in this meeting The quorum for this meeting is limited to 101 JamaAth members. However, if there is no quorum for two meetings taking the members present in the third meeting as quorum decisions shall be taken. The name and other details of the members present should be recorded in the minutes book and signature should be affixed by the Chairman. The decisions taken by the meeting in such a manner will be and shall be applicable to all members of this JamaAth. 16. Clause 1 of Chapter 3 provides the total number of elected members; minimum 55 and maximum as 70 members. The same reads thus: Members of the JamaAth Council shall be elected from the **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **13** annual general body as described in para-4 of Chapter 2. In the above said Council there should be members not below 55 and not exceed 70 members. Moreover, from among the JamaAth Musayyils one shall be elected to the Council. 17. The power and duties of the councils are enumerated in clause IV of Chapter 3. The same reads as under: IV Powers and Duties of the Council. On completion of the election to the council members, under the chairmanship of one member from among them, council shall be convened and elect Chairman and Secretary. If possible all elections should be unanimous. If not possible, election should be conducted in a democratic manner through secret ballot under the supervision of a Returning Officer decided by the Council. All meetings thereafter should be presided over by the Chairman. After the General Body of this JamaAth is over the council shall be the supreme committee All administrative committees elected from this council shall be under the control of the Council. If the council satisfy that there is administrative stalemate in any administrative committee should give necessary direction to avoid the same; if necessary to remove the above said committee with the 2/3 majority and to that place a new committee shall be elected from that council itself. The statement of accounts, reports and budget for the next year should be passed by the respective committee and obtain approval by presenting in the Council. If the Council decide that the accounts shall be subject to audit, an audit committee consisting of three members should be elected from that council and audit committee should place the audit report in the Council within 15 days. In the light of the audit report, if action is to be taken, Council will have such powers. The council shall have the power to verify the accounts of any of the committee. The council will have and shall have the power to take decision in matters which cannot be resolved in the committees. 18. On perusal of clause IV, we are not in doubt to form an **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **14** opinion that for the purpose of election of Chairman and Secretary, no quorum is provided but all meetings thereafter, should be presided over by the Chairman. For removal of the said committee, a majority of 2/3[rd] is required. The said remedy could have been resorted to if there had been 2/3[rd] majority challenging or disputing the election of the Chairman and the Secretary but cannot remain unmindful of the fact that only one person has chosen to come forward. Thus what could not be achieved as per the bye-laws is sought to be achieved in the manner and mode as discussed above. Learned Tribunal while rendering the findings, in paragraph 8 by appointing the Muthavalli held as follows: 8. The point: It is an admitted fact that a 70 member council was elected in the election conducted on 11.5.2024 wherein respondent No.13 has acted as the Returning Officer. It has also come to light that there were only 36 members present in the Jama-ath council meeting subsequently convened on 17.5.2024 Going by the facts and circumstances, it is evident that the council members who faced the election contested the said election as two separate panels. So the 70 member council is divided among themselves and it would appear that there is difficulty to get the quorum of the forty members in the council meeting. Whenever the meeting is convened, there will be only the presence of 35 or 36 members. As per the bye-law, the requirement of quorum is 40 council members. It is very difficult to attain the quorum, in the given circumstances. If that be so, there cannot be any proper administration and control of the Jama- ath and the institutions thereunder, by following the present system of election and the regulation regarding quorum. The issue is to be studied at its grass-root level and it has to be resolved finally. It will take time to resolve this issue and hence for the time being, it would appear to make some other **OP (WAKF) NO. 19 OF 2024** **15** arrangement as provided under the provisions of the Waqf Act, 1995, for the proper administration and management of the waqf and the institutions functioning under it. 19. We are of the considered opinion that the said findings basically reflects the action of holding the election without quorum which is not the factual position on record as noticed above. The Tribunal remained oblivious of the provisions of clause IV of Chapter 3 of the bye-laws. Had that provisions been taken, perhaps the order would not have been there. In view of the clause IV, the order of the Tribunal appointing the Interim Muthavally is wholly atrocious and fallacious and also miscarriage of justice. Original petition is allowed.
