IMPLEADED )
REPRESENTED BY ITS CHAIRMAN, OFFICE OF THE KERALA
STATE WAQF BOARD, VIP ROAD, KALOOR, KOCHI
ERNAKULAM ( SOUGHT TO BE IMPLEADED )
SRI. JAMSHEED HAFIZ SC FOR WAKF BOARD.
THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 05.09.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY
DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
2024:KER:67337
WP(C) NO. 31509 OF 2024

JUDGMENT
The prayers in this writ petition are as follows:
"i. To call for the records leading to Ext.P4, P5 and P7
from the 2nd respondent and issue a writ of mandamus or
any other appropriate writ, order or direction
commanding the 2nd respondent to incorporate the names
of the petitioners to Exhibit P8 and permit them to
participate the election commenced on 08.09.2024.
ii. To declare that the petitioners are entitled to
incorporated in Exhibit P8 electoral roll and they are
entitled to participate the election conducted by the 2 nd
respondent as per Exhibit P5 and P7.
iii. Please to dispense with the production of translation of
documents which is produced as Exhibit P1, P2, P5 to P9.
iv. To issue such other reliefs as this Hon'ble Court may
deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case."
2. The learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that
unless an interim direction to conduct the election by permitting the
2024:KER:67337
WP(C) NO. 31509 OF 2024
petitioners to cast their votes is granted, there will not be any proper
election.
3. In spite of the assertive submissions of the learned
Counsel for the petitioners, I find no reason to grant the reliefs, in
view of the efficacious alternative remedies available and also for the
reason that, the disputed questions of fact involved cannot be
resolved in a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of
India.
The writ petition is, hence, dismissed.
