V.V.S.RAO, R.KANTHA RAO
Lanco Hills Technology Park Private Limited – Appellant
Versus
Mahaboob Alam Khan – Respondent
V.V.S.Rao, J.
These petitions under Article 227 of the Constitution of India are against the orders passed by the Andhra Pradesh Wakf Tribunal (the Wakf Tribunal, for brevity). The contentious issues survive only in CRP Nos.1384 and 1444 of 2011. The Andhra Pradesh State Wakf Board (the Wakf Board, for brevity) and Dargah Hazrat Hussain Shah Vali (the Dargah, for brevity) join the issue with the petitioners therein. All other revisions do not require adjudication for one reason or the other.
At the outset, be it recorded that a decision of the Wakf Tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties to the application and no appeal shall lie against the decision or order whether interim or otherwise given or made by the Wakf Tribunal (Sections 83(2),
(7) and (9) of the Wakf Act, 1995 (the Wakf Act). Nonetheless the proviso to Section 83
(9) of the Wakf Act vests revisional jurisdiction in the High Court to call for and examine the records relating to a decision or order of the Wakf Tribunal, for the purpose of satisfying itself as to the correctness, legality or propriety of such an order. The provision enables the High Court to confirm, review or modify the decision
