HC questions govt. decision to appoint commission on Munambam land issue

The Hindu  

The Kerala High Court on Friday asked how the State government can appoint a commission headed by former High Court Judge C.N. Ramachandran Nair to inquire into the Munambam land issue when a civil court had already decreed it to be a Waqf property and the High Court confirming the order later. Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas made the oral observation when a writ petition filed by the Kerala Waqf Land Samrakshana Vedi challenging the appointment of the commission was taken up for hearing. The court said it could understand if the government order constituting the commission indicated that the commission would go into the issue of land in Munambam other than the 104 acres of Waqf land which had already been covered by the civil court and High Court orders.
