The record
Written from the 4 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Supreme Court refused to stay a Kerala High Court order restraining the state Waqf Board from incurring expenditure or taking policy decisions, over a challenge to its composition under section 14 of the UMEED Act.
- However, the court deleted the High Court's direction placing the Board under the supervision of a Joint Secretary-rank officer, saying it was unnecessary since the Board was already barred from major decisions.
- The Board argued it was rendered defunct and that vacancies, including two non-Muslim members, were being filled per statutory provisions.
- The matter has been sent back to the High Court, which is asked to decide it expeditiously after hearing all parties.
What to watch next
- The High Court's next hearing on the Waqf Board composition matter, listed Wednesday
- Whether the state completes filling the two non-Muslim member vacancies under section 14
- Any comparison with the Tamil Nadu Waqf Board case, where a similar order was stayed by the Supreme Court
