On Syed Anisur Rahaman executed a wakf deed on 1.7.71, in terms whereof properties mentioned in schedule 'Ka' thereof was to remain under the Mutwaliship of Sabetar Rahaman and those mentioned in schedule 'Kha' were to be under the Mutwaliship of Sufiar Rahaman and Saber Ali, his first, second and third sons respectively. It is alleged that there existed a stipulation that after the death of the aforementioned sons of Wakf, their descendents would become Mutwali. According to the petitioners, the aforementioned Sabetar Rahaman left the locality leaving two minor children. The other two Mutwalis being Sufiar Rahaman and Saber Ali had also left the locality.
