No.43 of 2000 is filed  by the plaintiffs  and A.S. No.104 of 2000  is<\/p>\n<p>filed by the additional second defendant in the suit.   The suit was filed for<\/p>\n<p>a decree directing the first defendant to vacate and surrender possession of<\/p>\n<p>the  properties detailed   in the plaint schedule, for damages to the tune of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.50,000\/-, for mense profits, past and future and  other ancillary reliefs.\n<\/p>\n<p>The trial court by the impugned judgment held that Ext.A2 deed does not<\/p>\n<p>constitute a valid Wakf, that the provision in the deed for appropriating the<\/p>\n<p>income by the Wakif is repugnant to  Mohammedan  Law since the   Wakif<\/p>\n<p>belongs   to   the   Shafi   Sect.   and   that   the   Wakif   himself   was   enjoying   the<\/p>\n<p>property  while he was acting as Muthavalli.  The trial court also held that<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A2 deed was invalid because  of the repugnant provisions contained in<\/p>\n<p>it   and   that   the   plaintiff\/society   does   not   acquire   any   right   in   the   Wakf<\/p>\n<p>properties.       On   the   basis   of   the   finding   recorded,   the   court   below<\/p>\n<p>dismissed the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                         2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        2.    The   first  plaintiff   is  a  society   registered  under  the  Registration<\/p>\n<p>Act.     According   to   the   plaintiffs,   under   a   registered   Wakf   deed<\/p>\n<p>No.281\/1927,  executed  by deceased  Khan  Bahadur  Valiyakath  Hajee Ali<\/p>\n<p>Barami,   the   plaint   schedule   property   stood   dedicated   by   way   of   Wakf.\n<\/p>\n<p>There is a clause in the Wakf deed that  in case the family of Ayishabi and<\/p>\n<p>Pathummabi   becomes extinct, the beneficiaries   of the Wakf shall be the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff&#8217; school and the Madrassas under it.  It was also made clear that the<\/p>\n<p>trustees of the said school shall become the Muthavalli.  According to the<\/p>\n<p>first plaintiff,  since  the  last  Muthavalli  died  on  8.4.1992  without  leaving<\/p>\n<p>any   issues,   the     plaintiff\/society   has   become   the   sole   beneficiary   of   the<\/p>\n<p>Wakf and that the defendant has no manner of title, claim, interest or rights<\/p>\n<p>whatsoever in the Wakf properties.   The first plaintiff, therefore, instituted<\/p>\n<p>the suit for the aforementioned reliefs.\n<\/p>\n<p>        3.   The first defendant who is in possession    of the plaint schedule<\/p>\n<p>properties and acting as the present Muthavalli resisted the suit  inter alia<\/p>\n<p>contending that the   plaintiff\/society has no right or authority   to file   the<\/p>\n<p>suit   and   that   it   is   not   correct   to   say   that   the   family   of   Ayishabi   and<\/p>\n<p>Pathummabi   became extinct.     The defendant also contended that   she is<\/p>\n<p>the senior most member who has been accepted, adopted and treated by the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                        3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>original   Wakif     and   the   other   female   descendants   as   the   Muthavalli   and<\/p>\n<p>that she is in absolute possession and management of the Wakf properties.\n<\/p>\n<p>She further contended that she and her children are entitled to continue the<\/p>\n<p>line of succession and are legally and rightfully entitled to   be the trustee<\/p>\n<p>and   beneficiary   of   the   Wakf.     According   to   the   defendant,   deed<\/p>\n<p>No.281\/1927 is not a Wakf deed, that the deed attaches  more importance<\/p>\n<p>to   the   maintenance   of   the   family   members   by   appropriating   the   income<\/p>\n<p>than   for   charitable   or   other   purpose   and   that   without   any   permanent<\/p>\n<p>dedication of the properties, the deed is invalid.  It is also contended that in<\/p>\n<p>the subsequent  deeds  executed  in 1951, 1958 and 1961,  the status  of the<\/p>\n<p>defendant as the trustee of the tharwad is asserted, affirmed and accepted<\/p>\n<p>by   the   original   Wakif.       The   defendant   also   contended   that   the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff\/society has no manner of right over the plaint  schedule property<\/p>\n<p>and   nor   are   they   entitled   to   get   recovery   of   possession   of   the   properties<\/p>\n<p>and, therefore, prayed for dismissal of the suit.  The Wakf Board also filed<\/p>\n<p>a written  statement supporting the  claim of the defendant  and  prayed for<\/p>\n<p>dismissal of the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p>        4.   The court below interpreted the various clauses in Ext.A2 Wakf<\/p>\n<p>deed.  The court below noticed that Ext.A2 would show that the settlor had<\/p>\n<p>made  it  clear   in   the   deed  that   recital   of   Quran,   reading   of   Moulood   and<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>providing   food   to   the   poor   on   the   day   of   Moulood   should   be   from   the<\/p>\n<p>income from the property.   Referring to Section 3 of the Mussalman Wakf<\/p>\n<p>Validating  Act, 1913, the  court  below  observed  that  there  cannot be  any<\/p>\n<p>valid   Wakf     since     Ext.A2   contains   a   provision   for   appropriation   of   the<\/p>\n<p>property   by   the   Wakif   himself.       According   to   the   learned   Judge,     the<\/p>\n<p>recitals    in Ext.A2 clearly show that there is a provision in the said deed<\/p>\n<p>that the Wakif could enjoy his property.     This provision  is repugnant to<\/p>\n<p>the  provisions   of  the   Mussalman   Wakf  Validating   Act   and   hence   it   was<\/p>\n<p>held that no valid Wakf was created by Ext.A2 deed.\n<\/p>\n<p>       5.   We have gone through the different clauses in Exts.A2, B1 and<\/p>\n<p>B2  deeds.    For  the  creation   of  a   valid   Wakf,   there   should   be   permanent<\/p>\n<p>dedication by a Muslim of   his properties for any purposes  recognized  by<\/p>\n<p>Muslim Law as religious, pious   or charitable.   To constitute a Wakf, not<\/p>\n<p>only should the object be religious, it should be charitable as well.  Unless<\/p>\n<p>a   permanent   dedication   to   charity   is   ascertainable   from   a   document,   it<\/p>\n<p>would  not  be  proper to  declare  it  as  Wakf deed.    We have  noticed      the<\/p>\n<p>following   recitals   at   pages   2   and   3   of   Ext.A2:\n<\/p>\n<pre>                                   .            In   page   3   of   Ext.A2   it   is   recited   that\n\n\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                                5<\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                                                             .      In  page   4   of   Ext.A2\n\n\n\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>deed, there is a provision for right of residence of tarwad members.   The<\/p>\n<p>recitals in page 4 of the deed would again go to show that the properties<\/p>\n<p>shall not be alienated or encumbered by any members of the tarwad.  It is<\/p>\n<p>also   recited   at     pages   4   and   5   of   Ext.A2   that   Ayishabi   followed   by<\/p>\n<p>Pathummabi   and their descendants    shall act as Muthavallis  and shall in<\/p>\n<p>their   capacity   as   Muthavallis,   after   remitting   the   tax   and   expenses   for<\/p>\n<p>repair   and   maintenance,   utilise   the   balance   amount   for   religious   and<\/p>\n<p>charitable   purposes.     At   page   7,   there   is   a   provision   for   vesting   the<\/p>\n<p>properties    in  favour  of Madrassaul  Muhamadiya  school  of madrassa  for<\/p>\n<p>the purpose of educating the orphans.  It is further recited therein that the<\/p>\n<p>trustees of the said school shall manage and spend the income  for the said<\/p>\n<p>charitable purposes.\n<\/p>\n<p>       6.  On 25.9.1958, the Wakif executed  Ext.B2 deed in which the first<\/p>\n<p>defendant   who   is   the  niece  of   the   Wakif   and   her   descendants   were<\/p>\n<p>authorised   to   act   as   Muthavallis   of   the   Wakf   properties   and   that   the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                        6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>defendant   and   her   descendants,   as   members   of   the   family,   shall   act   in<\/p>\n<p>succession and continue to manage the property and do the acts stated in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A2  Wakf  deed.        Again,   the  Wakif  on  20.10.1961  executed  another<\/p>\n<p>settlement deed marked as  Ext.B1  clarifying and explaining the duties of<\/p>\n<p>the Muthavalli.\n<\/p>\n<p>        7.     Learned   counsel   appearing   for   the   Mohammedan   Educational<\/p>\n<p>Association in A.S. No.43 of 2000,   referring to the clauses stated above,<\/p>\n<p>submitted that  a valid Wakf was  created  by Ext.A2   deed  and, therefore,<\/p>\n<p>the   interpretation   of   Ext.A2   by   the   court   below   is   incorrect.       He<\/p>\n<p>particularly   referred   to  the   recitals   at   pages   2   and  3   which   are   extracted<\/p>\n<p>above.     According   to   him,   going   by   the   object   for   which   Ext.A2   was<\/p>\n<p>executed, the basic requisite is that there should be a permanent dedication<\/p>\n<p>of   property   for   religious   or   charitable   purposes.     The   various   purposes<\/p>\n<p>enunciated   in   Ext.A2   and   the   object   for   which   Ext.A2   was   executed,<\/p>\n<p>according to counsel, would show that  there is  a permanent dedication of<\/p>\n<p>property for  the  purposes  recognised  by Mohammedan  Law as  religious,<\/p>\n<p>pious  or charitable.    According  to him, this  is  not  a case  where the  only<\/p>\n<p>object  is recital of Quran  and observing  Moulood.  Therefore, according<\/p>\n<p>to him,  the contention of the first defendant that these are not the objects<\/p>\n<p>for  which   Ext.A2  was   created   cannot  stand.       Besides     recital   of   Quran,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                       7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>reading   of   Moulood   and   feeding   the   poor,  there   are   other   recitals   in   the<\/p>\n<p>Wakf   deed   which   would   go   to   show   that     the   income   from   the   Wakf<\/p>\n<p>properties   shall   be   utilised   for   other   charitable   purposes,   contended<\/p>\n<p>counsel.\n<\/p>\n<p>       8.     Learned   counsel   appearing   for   the   first   respondent\/defendant<\/p>\n<p>brought to our notice Section 3(a) of the Mussalman Wakf Validating Act,<\/p>\n<p>1913 and canvassed the position that it shall be lawful for a Mussalman to<\/p>\n<p>create   a   Wakf   for   the   purpose   of   maintenance   and   support   wholly   or<\/p>\n<p>partially   of   his   family,   children   and   descendants   and,   therefore,   the<\/p>\n<p>provision in Ext.A2 deed making provision for maintenance of the family<\/p>\n<p>members is not repugnant to Mohammedan Law.   Counsel also referred to<\/p>\n<p>the   definition   of   Wakf   deed   under   Section   3(s)   of   the   Wakf   Act,   1995<\/p>\n<p>which reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                &#8220;wakf   deed&#8221;   means   any   deed   or   instrument   by<\/p>\n<p>                which a wakf  has been  created and includes any<\/p>\n<p>                valid   subsequent   deed   or   instrument   by   which<\/p>\n<p>                any of the terms of the original   dedication have<\/p>\n<p>                been varied.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According   to   the   learned   counsel,   the   provision   in   Ext.A2   regarding<\/p>\n<p>dedication of property as a family Wakf is made intact and is not violated<\/p>\n<p>in  Exts.B1 or B2  deeds.    Exts.B1  and  B2  deeds  are created  only for the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                       8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>purpose of appointing subsequent Muthavallis and for laying down duties<\/p>\n<p>for   the   purpose   of   management.     The   dedication   in   Ext.A2   deed   has<\/p>\n<p>neither changed nor varied in Exts.B1 and B2.  According to counsel, such<\/p>\n<p>execution   of   subsequent   deeds   are   permissible   under   the   Wakf   Act   and<\/p>\n<p>that such subsequent deeds form part of the original deed.     Counsel also<\/p>\n<p>contended   that   the   Wakf   is   not   valid   because   it   contains   provisions   for<\/p>\n<p>appropriation   of   the   property   by   the   Wakif   himself   and     that   the   settlor<\/p>\n<p>himself   can   enjoy   the   property   is   repugnant   to     the   Mussalman   Wakf<\/p>\n<p>Validating  Act.   According to  him, such an appropriation  of property   is<\/p>\n<p>permissible only if the Wakif is a Hanafi Mussalman.\n<\/p>\n<p>       9.     Learned   counsel   appearing   for   the   appellant   in   A.S.   No.43   of<\/p>\n<p>2000 also contended that if the Wakf is created with a condition that the<\/p>\n<p>whole or part of it shall be for himself while he lives and after him for the<\/p>\n<p>poor  is  strictly in  consonance  with  the  principles  of  Mohammedan  Law,<\/p>\n<p>that   it   is   permissible   to   create   wakf-alal-aulad   under   which   a   trust   in<\/p>\n<p>perpetuity   can   be   created   for   the   maintenance   and   support   wholly   or<\/p>\n<p>partially   of   the   family   of   the   settlor,   his   children   or   descendants   from<\/p>\n<p>generation  to  generation  and  thereafter  for  the  benefit  of the  poor  or for<\/p>\n<p>any other purpose recognized by Mohammedan Law as religious, pious or<\/p>\n<p>charitable purposes of a permanent character.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                       9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>       10.  Learned counsel appearing for the Kerala Wakf Baord\/appellant<\/p>\n<p>in A.S. No.104 of 2000 submitted that the Wakf in question was registered<\/p>\n<p>in 1968 before the  Wakf Board at a time when the Wakif was alive and<\/p>\n<p>that   the   Muthavallis   from   time   to   time   had   understood     and   accepted<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A2 as a valid Wakf and submitted annual returns and paid contribution<\/p>\n<p>to the Wakf Board and, therefore, they cannot now turn round and say that<\/p>\n<p>no valid Wakf was created   by Ext.A2.  Counsel also pointed out that the<\/p>\n<p>first defendant had submitted an application  on 8.3.1993 before the Board<\/p>\n<p>to  enter her  name as  Muthavalli  of  the  Wakf on  the  death  of the  former<\/p>\n<p>Muthavalli, Valiyakath Pathummabi on  8.4.1991  and  that  the conduct  of<\/p>\n<p>the first defendant is proof positive to show that Ext.A2 is a valid Wakf.\n<\/p>\n<p>       11.   On the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the view<\/p>\n<p>that a reading of Exts.A2, B1 and B2 as a whole, to spell out the contents<\/p>\n<p>and   manner   of   its   terms   is   necessary   for   the   proper   adjudication   of   the<\/p>\n<p>respective   contentions   raised   by   the   parties   to   the   suit.       The   first<\/p>\n<p>respondent in A.S. No.43 of 2000 filed I.A. No.4146 of 2007   praying to<\/p>\n<p>receive Annexure R1 document, which is the register of Wakf relating to<\/p>\n<p>Barami   Valiyakam   Charitable   and   Family   Wakf,   as   an   additional<\/p>\n<p>document.  It is stated in Annexure R1 that the register pertains to the suit<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">A.S.NOS.43 &amp; 104 OF 2000                       10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>properties  and  that the  same was registered  with  the  Wakf Board  by the<\/p>\n<p>then  trustee of the  properties.      According  to  the  petitioner  in  the  above<\/p>\n<p>application the suit properties are family trust properties and the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>is the present trustee of the said properties and that the trust was created<\/p>\n<p>predominantly  for  the  welfare  of  the  family members  of the  person  who<\/p>\n<p>executed it.
