ORDER:
The petitioner states that on the office of Mutawalli for the DargahHazrath Baji Saheeb Aulia at Peddakakani village, Guntur District, becomingvacant, the third respondent was appointed as Mutawalli by the firstrespondent. It is stated that the appointment was set aside by the WakfTribunal, and that the order of the Tribunal was upheld by the Supreme Court,leaving it open to the first respondent to appoint the third respondent bysatisfying the term. The third respondent is said to have been appointed asMutawalli for a term of two years and even that term had expired. According tothe petitioner, the first respondent is taking steps to appoint a Mutawalli forDargah and though he made a representation dated 09.12.2004, it is not beingtaken into account. He seeks appropriate directions in this respect.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned StandingCounsel for respondents 1 and 2.
3. The first respondent is vested with the power to appoint the Mutawallis for the various Wakfs as well as the power to extend the term of office. Thethird respondent has already been appointed as a Mutawalli for the Dargahreferred to above. On the expiry of the term, steps are being taken, to makefresh appointment. The petitioner claims to have submitted a representationdated 09.12.2004. The apprehension of the petitioner, that his representationwould not be taken into account, does not appear to be well founded. Even inthe absence of the representation, the first respondent has to take into account,the claims of various eligible individuals, keeping the interest of the Wakf, inview.
4.
