Mangalore, August 21: The exercise to reconstitute the Karnataka State Board of Wakfs was completed on Saturday with the State Government nominating five members to the Board.

Already, six members had been elected to the eleven-member Board from different electoral colleges.

The Board now comprises MP K Rahman Khan, Bangalore (elected from MP constituency), Qamrul Islam, Gulbarga, and Tanveer Sait, Mysore (both MLA's constituency), R Abdul Reyaz, Bangalore (from Bar Council constituency), Dr Mohammed Yousuff, Bangalore, and Syed Shah Khusro Hussaini, Gulbarga (both from Muthuvalli constituency), besides the members nominated by the Government.

The Government nominees include Yenepoya Mohammed Kunhi, Secretary of Yenepoya Educational Institutions, Mangalore, N Noor Basha, Joint Secretary Ghousiya Education Minority Society, Bellary, Mr N K M Shafi Saadi, Principal Secretary of Saadiya Educational Foundation, Bangalore (Sunni scholar category), Syed Mohammed Ibrahim, Bangalore (Shia scholar category), and H S Ismathulla Khan, Additional Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Bangalore.

The Chairman of the reconstituted Board will be elected from among the members. The date for the election of the Chairman has not been decided yet.

It may be mentioned here that the State Government had superseded Board in November 2009 charges of alleged financial irregularities. The then Minister for Haj, Wakf and Minorities Welfare Mumtaz Ali Khan had cited continuing irregularities in the functioning of the Board as the reason for superseding it.

However, the process to reconstitute the Board began following High Court directions to the effect on June 20, 2011.

According to a notification from the Government, the eleven members, including the elected and nominated ones, will hold office for a period of five years.
