KHADER SHERIFF vs SYED MOINUDDIN — C.A. No. 3351 - 3352/1998

Summary of C.A. No. 003351-003352 of 1998 The Supreme Court disposed of these appeals challenging a Wakf Board's appointment of Syed Moinuddin as Mutawali for five years on 10.1.1991. Though the High Court's Single Judge had quashed the appointment order, the Division Bench reversed this decision. The Supreme Court found the appeals infructuous since the five-year appointment period had expired by 1996 and the new Wakf Act 1995 had superseded it. The Court declined to examine the order's validity but preserved parties' rights to challenge any future action by the Wakf Board under the new Act on all available grounds.
