(Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) This petition, styled as a public interest litigation, is a proxy battle sought to be fought, as it is obvious from the large number of private litigations which are pending. The property belongs to the Wakf and the Wakf is competent to protect its property. The petitioner has nothing to do with the Wakf. Not only that, the petitioner alleges that there is some third party wanting to encroach, but neither the third party is named nor impleaded in the present petition.
Writ petition is dismissed. No costs.
