Written statement was filed by the petitioner opposing the suit claim and denying the title of the first respondent over the suit schedule property. It is contended that the suit schedule property is part and parcel of Wakf property, which was notified; that a report was received from officials of Wakf Board that first respondent was in illegal occupation of the property; that notice under Section 54(1) of the Act was ordered on 17.05.2003 and it was served on the first respondent on 24.06.2003. It is contended that alienation of Wakf property is void and that orders were passed under sub-Section (3) of Section 54 of the Act on 10.08.2003 and the said order was also served on first respondent on 25.09.2003. It is contended that thereafter the second respondent was approached with a requisition under Section 55 of the Act to evict the first respondent and to hand over possession and that was why the eviction order dated 09.07.2007 was issued.
