Hey everyone! Let's dive into a recent court decision that involves some land, a lease, and a bit of a back-and-forth between an educational society and the Telangana State Wakf Board.

What's the Case About?

So, here's the deal. Charminar Educational Society is asking the court to push the Telangana State Wakf Board to look into their lease renewal application. This land isn't just any land; it's a pretty big piece—about 12 acres and 15 guntas in Mamidipally Village.

Who's Involved?

  • Petitioner: Charminar Educational Society, represented by M.S.R. Adeeb Qureshi.
  • Respondents: The State of Telangana and the Telangana State Wakf Board.

What Happened Before?

According to the court, Charminar Educational Society had already paid the lease amount after the court's earlier orders in September 2025. They just want the Telangana State Wakf Board to consider their renewal application, which they submitted on October 9, 2025.

"The petitioner has paid the lease amount and thereafter, he has made an application for renewal of lease."

What Did the Court Say?

Justice T. Madhavi Devi, who handled this case, told the Telangana State Wakf Board to look at the application based on the Waqf Properties Lease Rules of 2014. The court wants this done quickly, ideally in the second meeting after the Wakf Board is re-formed.

"Respondents are directed to consider the application...expeditiously."

No Interference Allowed

Until the application is considered, the court has made it clear that the educational institution should not be bothered. Basically, it's business as usual for them until a decision is made.

Final Words

The court wrapped up the case with these directions and didn't make either side pay any extra costs. So, for now, it's up to the Telangana State Wakf Board to review the application and make a decision soon.
