https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=297775 An order passed by a Waqf Tribunal not constituted in the manner required by amended Section 83(4) of the Waqf Act, 1995 was treated as without jurisdiction. The provision requires a Tribunal to comprise a Chairman and two members, and the Act contains no saving clause to validate proceedings of an improperly constituted Tribunal. As a statutory tribunal, it must act strictly within the composition mandated by the statute; proceedings taken by an invalidly constituted tribunal lack lawful authority. The impugned order was therefore held to be coram non judice and a nullity, and was set aside. en-us Mon, 15 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 06:16:05 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=297775 An order passed by a Waqf Tribunal not constituted in the manner required by amended Section 83(4) of the Waqf Act, 1995 was treated as without jurisdiction.
