(1.) The challenge in the three writ petitions relate to the validity of the impugned Scheme dtd. 12/7/2022 framed by the Wakf Board (herein after referred to as the "Board") and the consequential notification published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dtd. 24/8/2022, in respect of Kazimar Street Peria Pallivasal (hereinafter referred as the Subject Wakf). The three writ petitions are thus taken up and heard together.

(3.) It may be relevant to set out briefly about the petitioners in the three writ petitions.
