Kerala High Court Orders Status Quo on Cheruvally Estate Ownership Dispute

The Kerala High Court has ordered status quo on the ownership of the Cheruvally Estate in Kottayam district, land proposed for the Sabarimala International Greenfield Airport.

The dispute involves the Ayana Charitable Trust, which asserts ownership through purchase and adverse possession, while the government contends the land was illegally transferred. Notices were issued to involved parties for their responses.
