Hyderabad, March 28: The AP High Court on Friday stayed all further proceedings of the AP Wakf Tribunal on a gazette notification that declared 1,600 acres in Manikonda village in Ranga Reddy as wakf property.
The State government and the AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation have challenged the gazette notification issued by the Wakf board on April 6, 2006. The board declared that 1,600 acres in Manikonda village belonged to Dargah Hussain Shah Vali.
The government had allotted lands to software giants like Wipro, Infosys, Polaris and Emmar Properties. The Lanco Technology Hills Park limited purchased 100 acres from APIIC through a public auction.The Lanco also challenged the notification.
Advocate General C.V. Mohan Reddy, while arguing before a division bench comprising Chief Justice A.R. Dave and Justice R. Subhash Reddy said the notification was mere baseless and depended on the Muntakhab (a record of properties belonging to Muslim religious institutions).

The Ag informed the court that some of the devotees of the Dargha filedpetitions in theWakf Tribunal based on the notification and the Tribunal is conductingproceedings onthem. He alleged that some of the land records were also tampered to showthat the landbelonging to the Dargha.Mr. SM. Subhani counsel for the Wakf Board argued that it was asurprising step takenby the State against the Wakf institution and the Wakf Board. Hesubmitted that, in theMuntakhab of the Wakf published in the gazette on February 9,1989 whichdid notcontain the entire area of the land held by the wakf , therefore, thesame has beencorrected by the Board by issuing Errata and issued in April 2006.
