S. Shabrahmania Ayyar, Officiating C.J.

1.

No doubt there was no enquiry in this case as to who was in possession of the mosque. The order therefore in so far as it declares possession

to be with the second party cannot be maintained and the vakil who represents that party encodes this. As to the real point in question it is clear

that a dispute as to a right to use a mosque by persons claiming to be entitled to officiate as Kazis therein is a dispute coming within Section 147 of

the Code of Criminal Procedure and Muhammad Musaliar v. Kunji Check Musaliar ILR 11 Mad. 323, so far as it goes confirms the above view.

The order will therefore be modified by directing that Ibrahim and Kather Ibrahim shall not be introduced into the mosque to officiate therein, by

the five individuals mentioned in the Magistrate''s order as forming party No. I until the decision of a competent Civil Court recognizing the alleged

right is obtained by them.
