Supreme Court to Hear Challenge Against Kerala High Court Order on Waqf BoardPreviousNext

The Supreme Court will hear on July 20 a plea challenging a Kerala High Court order that restricts the Kerala State Waqf Board from making major decisions without court permission. The High Court also directed the government to appoint its representative on the Board and oversee its administration. The case arose from public interest litigations alleging illegal functioning of the Board. The issue has sparked political debate, with opposition leaders criticizing the state government’s response.
