Madras High Court common order dated 21.02.2025 by Justice N. Senthilkumar in C.R.P.Nos.846 & 1417 of 2015 (filed under Section 83(9) of Wakf Act, 1995) challenging the Fair and Decretal order dated 13.09.2013 of the Principal Subordinate Judge, Salem in W.O.P.Nos.1 and 2 of 2011 concerning Noorul Islam Jamia Masjid Periya Palli Vasal, Salem. Petitioners: Mr. Bilal Basha and Haji D. Bilal Basha; respondents include Tamil Nadu Wakf Board, Superintendent of Wakf Board, and the Muthawalli/Secretary/Executive Committee members of the Salem Palli Vasals. Counsel (Mr. S.A. Akbar for petitioner; Mr. Mohammed Fayaz Ali for Tamil Nadu Wakf Board) jointly submitted the 10.06.2011 election's three-year term had expired; petitions closed, no further orders, no costs. No cases cited; no quantum involved.
What did the court decide?
Since nothing survived for adjudication after the three-year term of office from the 10.06.2011 election had come to an end (as submitted by counsel on either side), the Court closed both Civil Revision Petitions without passing any further orders and made them cost-free.
