Telangana High Court rejects PIL against Wakf Board

A two Bench panel consisting of the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili of the Telangana High Court refused to entertain a PIL relating to constitution of a boundary wall of Waqf property in Begumpet.

The petitioners, S. V. Ranga and others complained against permission granted for the construction of boundary wall around a Waqf property. Abu Akram,



counsel for the Waqf Board pointed out that the title of the property was not in dispute as stated by the petitioner. 

He further contended that it was a personal case disguised as an PIL. The panel refused to go into the question and observed that the Waqf Act provided an alternative remedy and the petitioner was free to invoke the said remedy.
