JUDGMENT/ORDER S.R. Krishna Kumar, J. - In this writ petition, petitioner seeks quashing of the impugned order at Annexure-A dated 21.01.2022 passed by the respondent No.1-Karnataka State Board of Auqaf whereby the respondent No.4 was appointed as Administrator of the subject Wakf Institution. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for respective respondents and perused the material on record including the impugned order. 3. In addition to reiterating the various contentions as raised in the memorandum of writ petition, learned counsel for the petitioner invites my attention to the proposal submitted by the petitioner at Annexure-H dated 02.08.2022 to the respondent No.3 requesting approval of the managing committee for a period of five years. It is also pointed out that pursuant to the said proposal being sent, the third respondent issued a public notice on 06.08.2022 calling for objections. In addition to other contentions, it is the grievance of the petitioner that despite petitioner submitted the aforesaid proposal seeking constitution of a committee, the respondent No.1-Board has proceeded to unilaterally appoint an administrator without providing any opportunity to the petitioner nor considering or passing appropriate orders/ taking appropriate decision on the said proposal and as such the impugned Annexure-A deserves to be set aside. 4. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents submit that having regard to the undisputed fact that the term of management of the Committee of the petitioner came to an end/ expired on 05.08.2022, the question of petitioner continuing with the management of the subject Wakf Institution does not arise and consequently the respondent No.1 was fully justified in appointing the Administrator in terms of the impugned order which does not warrant interference by this Court in the present petition. 5. 5. Though several contentions have been urged by both sides in support of their respective claims with regard to the material on record as well as the provisions of the Wakf Act, 1995, a perusal of the impugned order will indicate that there is no reference to the proposal at Annexure-H submitted by the petitioner being rejected prior to passing the impugned order and consequently without expressing any opinion on the merits/ demerits of the rival contentions, on the short ground that the proposal of the petitioner dated 02.08.2022 for formation of a committee of management for a further period of five years has not been considered nor the same has been rejected prior to passing the impugned order, I am of the considered opinion that the impugned order at Annexure-A deserves to be set aside and the matter be remitted back to the respondent No.1 for reconsideration of the aforesaid proposal in accordance with law, within a stipulated time frame. 6. In the result, I pass the following order. ORDER i) Writ Petition is allowed; ii) Impugned order at Annexure-A dated 21.01.2022 passed by the respondent No.1 is set aside; iii) Matter is remitted back to the concerned respondents No.1 to 3 for reconsideration of the proposal at Annexure-J dated 02.08.2022 submitted by the petitioner and to pass appropriate orders/ take appropriate decision on the same in accordance with law; iv) Petitioner is directed to appear before the respondent No.1-Board and submit pleadings, documents, etc. if any, on 01.03.2023 pursuant to which the respondent No.1-Board shall proceed further and take appropriate decision/ appropriate orders in accordance with law on or before 08.03.2023; v) All rival contentions are kept open and no opinion is expressed on the same. In view of disposal of the petition, all pending IAs do not survive for consideration and accordingly they stand disposed off.
