THE HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE SUJOY PAUL
AND
THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE RENUKA YARA
WRIT APPEAL No.580 of 2025
JUDGMENT (Per the Hon'ble the Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul):
Sri Ashok Anand Kumar, learned Senior Counsel
represents Sri N. Gangadhar, learned counsel for the appellant
and Sri Bhukya Mangilal Naik, learned Government Pleader for
Endowments, for the respondents.
2. Heard on admission.
3. Learned Senior Counsel for the appellant submits that
although there exists an alternative remedy before the
Endowments Tribunal, in the facts of the present case, the writ
Court was not justified in relegating the appellant to avail the
alternative remedy. To bolster this submission, it is submitted
that the Abstract of Endowment (Muntakhab Kitabul Waqf) (page
No.90) does not reflect the boundaries and in this backdrop,
even as per this document, it cannot be said that the document
covers the property of the appellant.
4. The other side opposed the prayer and supported the
impugned order dated 17.03.2025 passed by the learned Single
Judge.
5. The existence of statutory alternative remedy is not in
dispute. The Endowments Tribunal is a specialized Tribunal and
is best suited to examine the location and existence of property
etc. The question of boundaries and other factual aspects can
also be gone into by the Endowments Tribunal. In this
backdrop, in our view, learned Single Judge has taken a
plausible view which does not warrant interference in intra-court
appeal.
6. Accordingly, this Writ Appeal fails and is hereby
dismissed. However, liberty is reserved to the appellant to
approach the Endowments Tribunal. No costs.
Interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall also
stand closed.
