Service is complete. Counsel for the respondents says that the petitioners have directly approached against the order passed by the Wakf Board cancelling the lease in favour of the petitioners. The petitioners have an alternative remedy of challenging the same before the Wakf Tribunal. The petitioners are, therefore, relegated to their alternative remedy of approaching the Wakf Tribunal.
The writ petition is disposed of, accordingly.
