Upon hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the material records of the case, the grievance of the petitioner appears to be twofold. Firstly, with reference to the election of office bearers, the petitioner claims that he is entitled to a hereditary office and that the current office bearers were selected without considering his claim. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the wrongful election of the office bearers, it is open for him to challenge the election. 4. Secondly, with reference to the appointment of a teacher, the Chief Executive Officer, Tamil Nadu Wakf Board has found that the father of the teacher was not part of the committee that selected the teacher. Therefore, with respect to the jurisdiction of the Wakf Board, Wakf Board found no merit in the petitioner’s representation. If the teacher was erroneously appointed, that issue must be addressed through 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P(MD)No.9150 of 2026 the appropriate legal process.

Therefore, the petitioner is granted liberty to file an appropriate application before the Tribunal. If he is aggrieved by the election process, the prayer in the writ petition to interfere with the impugned order cannot be sustained. 6.
