Mohamed Thajudeen Mohamed Sadiq vs. Fathima Afra and Hussain Azhar Sainoon – CA WRIT/29/2020-2022

In the case between Mohamed Thajudeen Mohamed Sadiq (Petitioner) and Fathima Afra (1st Respondent) and Hussain Azhar Sainoon, Quazi Judge (2nd Respondent), the court addressed whether a writ of certiorari should issue to quash the enforcement order of the Quazi Judge regarding maintenance payments under the Muslim Marriages and Divorce Act. The application was dismissed, holding that in the absence of a supported interim order from the Board of Quazis restraining the Quazi Judge, the exercise of judicial authority under section 64(1) of the Act could proceed unaffected. The decision emphasized that judicial intervention is unwarranted where statutory procedures and jurisdiction are properly maintained and no legal basis for certiorari is established.
