\n        \tThis revision petition raises the question  as  to
\n        whether  the  second  defendant  is a wakf and whether the
\n        Wakf Tribunal has jurisdiction  to  try  the  suit.    The
\n        second  defendant is admittedly a society registered under
\n        the Societies Registration Act<\/a> formed for  charitable  and
\n        educational purpose.   It is also governed by the rules of
\n        any one of the sections of  Muslim  called  Safi,  Hanafi,
\n        Hambali or Maliki.\n<\/p>\n
        \t2.   Pursuant  to  a  direction  by  this Court in
\n        C.R.P.1846\/2003 to the Wakf Tribunal, Ernakulam to  decide
\n        this  question  afresh  the  Tribunal  considered  it as a
\n        preliminary issue and found that the second defendant is a
\n        wakf and is subject to the jurisdiction of  the  Tribunal.
\n        This  revision  petition  is filed by the first defendant,
\n        the President Darul Aman Islamic Complex, Kalladikode.\n<\/p>\n

\n                collecting any income, amounts, etc.<\/p>\n
         8)   Grant such other reliefs as may be prayed for@@
\n        i
\n                and which this Honourable Tribunal deems  fit  and
\n                proper  in  the  interest  of  justice  during the
\n                course of the trial of this suit.\n<\/p>\n
        \t4.  In the plaint it is stated that the plaintiffs
\n        are  the  Working  Committee Members and office bearers of
\n        Darul Aman Islamic Complex  which  is  a  wakf  registered
\n        under  the  Literary and Charitable Societies Registration
\n        Act<\/a>.  Though the nomenclature Islamic Complex is used, the
\n        provisions in the byelaw clearly showed that it is a  wakf
\n        and the Managing Committee is a Muthawalli Committee.  The
\n        rest  of  the  averments  in  the  plaint  relates  to the
\n        complaint against the first defendant and the attempts  of
\n        the plaintiffs to convene general body etc.  which are not
\n        very  material  for the decision of the issues involved in
\n        this revision petition.\n<\/p>\n
        \t5.  In the written statement the  first  defendant
\n        contended that  the  2nd  defendant  is  not  a wakf.  The
\n        properties are not registered with the Wakf  Board.    The
\n        properties  of the 2nd defendant have not been permanently
\n        dedicated for the purposes recognised as pious, religious,
\n        charitable with an intention to  create  wakf.    The  2nd
\n        defendant  is  a  charitable  society registered under the
\n        Literary and Charitable Societies Registration act,  1860.
\n        The Ist  defendant  is  the  founder  President.   The Ist
\n        defendant and other  founder  members  never  intended  to
\n        establish   a   wakf   institution  and  to  dedicate  the
\n        properties as wakf.  Since the  2nd  defendant  is  not  a
\n        wakf,  the  Tribunal  has no jurisdiction to try the suit.
\n        The other averments in the plaint are also denied  in  the
\n        written statement.\n<\/p>\n
        \t6.  Therefore the question  to  be  considered  is
\n        whether the  Darul  Aman  Islamic  Complex is a wakf.  The
\n        Tribunal has held that even though  there  is  no  express
\n        dedication  it can be validly found that the 2nd defendant
\n        is a wakf by user.  The learned counsel for  the  revision
\n        petitioner   contends   that   the  Tribunal  has  totally
\n        misunderstood  the  expression  “Wakf  by  user”  and  the
\n        finding  that  the  2nd  defendant is a wakf is absolutely
\n        wrong.\n<\/p>\n
        \t7.  Ext.B1 is  the  byelaw  of  Kalladikode  Darul
\n        Islamic  Complex Committee and Ext.B5 is the Memorandum of
\n        Association dated 23-12-1988.  A reading of Exts.B1 and B5
\n        discloses the following aspects.  In Ext.B1  the  aims  of
\n        the society are to give protection to the orphans and give
\n        them  education  religious, technical and professional and
\n        to establish Yathimkhana, Arabic College, Mosque, Training
\n        Institute, Health Care Centre,  Madrassa,  Nursery  School
\n        etc.   The  activities of the society will be based on the
\n        faith of Asu Ari, Mathurithi and based on any one  of  the
\n        tenets  of  the  sections  called Safi, Hanafi, Hambali or
\n        Maliki.  The disputes are to be settled on  the  basis  of
\n        decisions  of  the Pandits of Samastha Kerala Jam Iyyathul
\n        Ulama.  The life members have to contribute Rs.6,000\/- and
\n        ordinary members have to contribute Rs.51\/-  and  must  be
\n        persons willing  to  abide by the byelaws.  The income has
\n        to be spent for the purposes above mentioned.  In case the
\n        society is to stop functioning the  assets  must  vest  in
\n        some  other  institutions of the same objects or otherwise
\n        it will vest in the State.  It is with these provisions in
\n        the byelaws that we have to consider the  question  as  to
\n        whether the 2nd defendant is a wakf or not.\n<\/p>\n
        \t8.  A wakf is defined under Sec.3 (r) of the  Wakf
\n        Act<\/a> 1995.    It  is  a  permanent  dedication  by a person
\n        professing Islam, of any movable or immovable property for
\n        any  purpose  recognised  by  the  Muslim  Law  as  pious,
\n        religious or charitable and includes a wakf by user, grant
\n        and wakf-alal-aulad subject to the conditions mentioned in
\n        the section.   The basic thing for a wakf is dedication of
\n        movable or immovable  property  for  pious,  religious  or
\n        charitable purpose.    The  Tribunal has found that though
\n        there is no such dedication it can be treated as a wakf by
\n        user.  For that purpose the Tribunal  has  relied  on  the
\n        decisions of  this  Court  in Pookoya Haji Vs.  Cheiyakoya@@
\n                                      AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
\n        (2003 (3) KLT 32).  The question considered in  that  case@@
\n        AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
\n        was the scope of the power of the Tribunal.  It is clearly
\n        stated by the Division Bench that a wakf normally requires
\n        express  dedication,  but  if land has been used from time
\n        immemorial for a religious purpose then the land becomes a
\n        wakf by user.  Can it  be  said  in  this  case  when  the
\n        society  was  formed  in  1988  under  a  byelaw  that the
\n        property has been used from time immemorial?   We  are  of
\n        opinion  that  it  cannot  be  said  and  the Tribunal was
\n        clearly in error in placing reliance on a  decision  which
\n        has no  application  to the facts of the case.  As noticed
\n        by this Court in Mariyumma Vs.  Andunhi (1979 KLT 231) the@@
\n                         AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
\n        creation of a wakf is the tying  up  of  property  in  the
\n        ownership  of  God  the  Almighty  and the devotion of the
\n        profits for the benefit of human beings.  As a  result  of
\n        the creation of a wakf, the right of wakif is extinguished
\n        and the ownership is transferred to the Almighty.  In this
\n        case  there is even provision for devolution of the entire
\n        property to the State if the society is to extinguish  and
\n        there  is no other similar organisation to which it can be
\n        transferred.  Though such a possibility is very remote and
\n        almost nil it is an indicator to show  that  there  is  no
\n        complete dedication of property to the Almighty.\n<\/p>\n
        \t9.   The  Supreme  Court  in  Zain  Yar  Jung  Vs.@@
\n                                       AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
\n        Director  of  Endowments  (AIR 1963 SC 985) dealt with the@@
\n        AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
\n        distinction between  public  charitable  trust,  wakf  and
\n        religious endowments  recognised  by  Hindu  Law.  In that
\n        case since the beneficiaries were the  general  public  it
\n        was found  to be not a wakf.  In the present case there is
\n        no dedication  of  any  particular  movable  or  immovable
\n        property for  religious  or  charitable trust.  It is only
\n        the objects of the trust that is mentioned in Ext.B5.  The
\n        qualification to become a life member or  ordinary  member
\n        also is  mentioned as contribution of certain amounts.  In
\n        that respect also it can be said that  there  is  no  wakf
\n        created by  Exts.B1  and  B5.   Though some decisions have
\n        been referred to by the counsel on both  sides  they  were
\n        rendered  under  the  Wakf  Act<\/a>,  1954  and  after the new
\n        enactment in 1995 they have lost relevance  and  therefore
\n        we are  not  referring to them.  But the fact remains that
\n        even after  the  new  Act  the  essential  requirement  of
\n        permanent  dedication of movable or immovable property for
\n        pious, religious or charitable purpose is required.  Since
\n        even  according  to  the  Tribunal  there  is  no  express
\n        dedication  and  it is a wakf by user and wakf by user can
\n        be presumed only in case where a property  has  been  used
\n        from  time  immemorial  for a religious purpose, we are of
\n        the opinion that the Tribunal has gone  wrong  in  holding
\n        that the 2nd defendant is a wakf.
\n        \tWe therefore allow this  Civil  Revision  Petition
\n        and  hold that the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to try the
\n        suit.  The parties shall bear their costs.\n<\/p>\n
