K M Shakeel Safi v. the State of Ap
Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioners challenged the State's failure to appoint three members to the A.P. Waqf Tribunal as required by Section 83(4) of the Waqf Act, 2025. During the hearing, the Government Pleader placed on record G.O.Rt.No.107 dated 25.08.2026 showing that two members had been appointed and stated that a third member had already been appointed earlier. The court found that nothing remained for adjudication and closed the writ petition with no costs.
What did the court decide?
Writ petition closed as the challenged inaction has been remedied by the appointment of all three tribunal members.
