The Court : Learned counsel appearing for the parties submit that the petitioners have prayed for dispensation of the Appellate Side Rules of the writ petition but have filed the writ petition in the Original Side. The main relief sought is for challenging the vires of the Waqf Rules, 2022. Since the Rules have been framed at Nabanna, which is outside the

Original Side jurisdiction of this Court, let this matter be transferred to the Appellate Side.
