Hyderabad: The Telangana high court has observed that the Wakf Board has failed to implement its earlier orders directing the management of an Ibadat Khana to constitute a management committee with equal representation of the two sects of the Shia Imamia Isna Ashari community, namely Akhbari and Usooli, to end the dispute once and for all.
Reading verses from the Koran, the court said that the Wakf Board had taken no steps to implement the order. Moreover, the board had also acted against the will of the waqifs, the HC observed while dismissing a review petition challenging the court’s earlier order.
The HC issued the directions in 2023, following which a review petition was filed.
The HC in 2023 passed the directions quashing the Wakf Board’s process of appointing the members of the Ibadatkhana. Since the members were not nominated by the waqifs or their nominees before their deaths and were not related to the waqifs, the court set aside the appointments.
