Section Text
1) Save as otherwise provided in this Act, the State Government may either on its own motion or on an application made to it by a mutawalli or any other person interested in the wakf, call for and examine the record of the Board or Wakf Commissioner, as the case may be, in respect of any proceeding (not being a proceeding relating to a matter in respect of which a suit has been instituted, appeal has been filed or application has been made to a court or any proceeding arising out of an application made to the Tribunal or an appeal to the State Government as provided by this Act), to satisfy itself as to the regularity of such proceedings or the correctness, legality or propriety of any decision or order passed in such proceedings, and if in any case, it appears to the State Government that any such decision or order should be modified, annulled, reversed or remitted to the Board for reconsideration, the State Government may pass orders accordingly:
Provided that no such order shall be made except after giving to the person who is likely to be prejudicially affected thereby a reasonable opportunity of making his representations against the proposed action.
(2) No application shall be entertained under sub-section (1) in respect of any matter unless an application in relation to the said matter had already been made to the Board and had been disposed of by the Board or, where the application relates to any matter in respect of which the Wakf Commissioner is empowered by or under this Act to exercise any power unless an application had been made to the Wakf Commissioner and has been disposed of by him.
(3) Every application referred to in sub-section (1) shall be made within a period of three months from the date on which the order made in the proceeding to which the application relates, was communicated to the applicant.]
