Hyderabad: A two-judge panel of the Telangana High Court, comprising Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan and Justice Vijaysen Reddy, on Tuesday adjourned a batch of writ pleas dealing with the actions of the Wakf Board in not framing any rules and regulation or guidelines to preserve maintain and protect the Muslim graveyards in the State. A letter written to the Chief Justice was taken as a PIL by the panel. The letter complained of the inaction of the board in not taking any steps to protect the said lands allotted for Muslim graveyards from illegal encroachments and land grabbers. The Wakf Board submitted a report detailing actions taken by them to prevent the Muslim graveyards as ordered earlier by the panel. The panel after perusing the report voiced their displeasure stating that the CEO of the Wakf Board failed to filed a detailed report as the report lacks the information about the criminal actions taken by the Board against the land grabbers and the details of the cases registered and any proceedings initiated for recovery of possession. The panel directed the Chief Executive Officer of the Wakf Board to be present before the panel on November 16 and adjourned the matter.
