Summary:

The Kerala Waqf Board (KWB) will file a review petition against a Kerala High Court Division Bench order that declared the Munambam land is not Waqf property. The KWB argues the court overstepped its boundaries by ruling on the land’s nature, an issue not raised during the original appeal. The KWB will argue that the ruling also undermines the authority of the Waqf Tribunal, which is the correct judicial forum to decide on the land’s status. The Waqf Tribunal is scheduled to hear the Munambam case later this week, including arguments from the KWB, legal heirs, and Farook College, all challenging the Waqf registration.

Kerala Waqf Board to Challenge High Court Ruling on Munambam Land

KOCHI, November 4, 2025 – The Kerala Waqf Board (KWB) announced today that it will file a review petition against a recent Kerala High Court Division Bench order concerning the contentious Munambam land. The High Court had ruled that the land was not Waqf property, a decision the KWB argues is a judicial overreach.

The KWB’s petition will assert that the Division Bench, in its ruling last month, exceeded its judicial mandate by deciding on the fundamental nature of the disputed property. According to sources within the KWB, this issue was never raised by the original appellant, the State government, or any other party involved in the litigation.

“The court’s decision preempts the Waqf Tribunal’s authority on this matter,” a source within the KWB stated. “The Tribunal is the appropriate judicial forum to determine the true status of the Munambam land.”

The Board will further argue that the High Court’s decision undermines the ongoing proceedings at the Waqf Tribunal, where the Munambam case is scheduled to be heard later this week. The Tribunal, headed by District Judge T. K. Minimol, will consider arguments from the KWB, the legal heirs of Mohammed Siddique Sait (who originally donated the land to Farook College, Kozhikode), and the Farook College itself. All parties are challenging the Board’s registration of the land as Waqf property.

The Waqf Tribunal had previously granted residents of Munambam the right to challenge the registration.

The outcome of the Tribunal’s hearing, and the KWB’s review petition, will have significant implications for the future of the Munambam land and the ongoing legal battle surrounding its ownership.
