2. These revision petitions are directed against a common order passed by the Wakf Tribunal. Proceedings were initiated before the Wakf Tribunal evidently under Sec.83(2) of the Wakf Act challenging two separate orders passed by the Wakf Board. Both are described to be interim orders passed by the Wakf Board in an enquiry pending before it as E4-8360/07. The first impugned order dated 26/4/08 restrains the respondents herein from conducting an election to the Managing Committee until further orders. The second impugned order restrains the 1st respondent herein from convening a General Body Meeting on 22/6/08 and taking any decision in the said General Body Meeting.
