Mosque committee formation rules

A Mosque in Dindigul having a Muslim Population of 3000 Muslims livng around,  is under a old scheme approved by the Tamil Nadu Wakf Board to elect 33 members to the Managing Committee. After the due process of election of 33 members to the Managing Committee, this  committee is functioing without a proper team of  office bearers.  Rather it is  run by a panel of five members with no objection by any body else.  . The Bank Account is operated by a committee of three people out of this panel.

Is it not proper to have a formal team of office bearers,  and to operate the Bank Account jointly by the President / Secretary  and the Treasurer  ? Can this old practice of no objection by any body else entitles the panel  of five members to administer  the Mosque  and permit them  to operate the Bank Account without designated positions ? Is it mandatory to have a duly elected five , seven or nine members  as team of office bearers out of the 33 members to run the Mosque ?

The Office bearers are to elect the management committee members out of them to function as president, secretary, treasurer, vice president and any other vital post. 

This can be possible in a meeting of the office bearers to take a decision about this.

My question is :

Is it mandatory to elect a team of 5 or 7 or 9 office bearers such as President , Vice President , Secretary , etc , out of the 33 elected members to administer the Mosque , or can it be run by a panel of five persons appointed by consensus, and operate the bank account as well . Generally the Mosques come under the Wakf Act similar to the Societies Act and is accountable only to the Wakf Board .

The office bearers shall select the committee members to manage the administration as per the bylaws or the conditions of the deed.
